You have a WD Black SN850 with an MSI Mag 560 Torpedo MBO in the dashboard. The display indicates it's compatible with Gen 4, but you're unsure if it needs a driver or if there are any issues. Also, you mentioned running an i7 10700K.

10700K corresponds to PCIe 3.0 generation. 11700K represents PCIe 4.0, and 12700K aligns with PCIe 5.0.

Upgrading to a 11700K would provide 4.0, though this isn't always a strong suggestion unless 4.0 is crucial for your tasks.
