If you can get Win 11 on your PC, windows update should work fine. Hell Microsoft even pushes out updates to unlicensed installs just to prevent them from becoming a security nightmare

Speaking from experience, Windows Update
does check and
is fully aware when you're on unsupported hardware for Windows 11; if you pick the Windows Insider Dev branch when running a Windows 11-unsupported processor on Windows 10, the Insider Program will display a warning message in Windows Update even before you download the OS. What WU
won't actively do is stop you from downloading or installing it. And it doesn't display the message in Settings once you're on Windows 11.
