Windows 11 on unsupported hardware - will it update?

As title - if I install Win 11 on an unsupported computer will it continue to receive all updates or be stuck on the version I installed?

The reality - maybe, maybe not.  Who knows?

There is nothing to stop you installing the updates yourself if they don’t' come down automatically.  They are cumulative.

If you get update 25H2 when it's released,  it's possible it will be stuck on that version, but even if that happened  that would take you up to Oct 27
