Depending on the original materials, it is best to have a quick look over them, to check if some of them need to be changed to either Standard or Standard (Specular setup). You can do that by checking if they have a missing Specular or Metallic map and you can switch back and forth to see the difference. The other map will connect automatically if it is supposed to be there.
