RDS and DMV

Hey everyone! I moved here to NC a little bit ago and I’m trying to qualify for in state tuition, I know I have to live here for 12 months and show my intent to stay here permanently (I do plan on it, I moved here before I knew I wanted to go back to school). I’ve read the requirements but that led me into a spiral and now my questions are more on the dmv side of things. I lived in NJ and while I lived there I bought (well it’s still financed) a car. My registration and inspection is not up until 2028, if I go about moving everything over to NC what is the way to go about it? I also want to know if I move everything over will I have to pay the yearly registration fees even if my car registration that I have doesn’t expire until 2028? I know this may seem dumb but it's driving me nuts not knowing the correct way to go about it. So if I can avoid spending a ton of money that would be great, please help!
