Upgrading on unsupported CPU

[alibegoa]

I am running I7 processor on one of my PCs and for whatever reason it is not officially supported. TPM 2.0 and secure boot is enabled.
Should I upgrade to 11? I think I've seen somewhere announcement that I will no longer be eligible to receive updates if I do?
What does it mean? Does it mean that PC will no longer receive any updates via Windows Update Service?

It is quoted all over the Internet. I can only quote from memory that MS said you may not get those updates.
Fwiw:
I have received a couple of security updates since installation on Day one on my old laptop.

Fwiw. Since then. Updates:

I suspect if there are going to be problems with updates they will come with the next feature update (22H2) rather than intervening CUs. MS could then, for example, turn on core isolation (virtualization) which could be a performance hit for non-compliant processors.

Thank you both, this is the exact text, entitled, but thank you for confirmation updates are delivered.

Thankyou for that. I knew the wording was a little more evasive than an outright NO
