will this pc take win11

would this make a good win11 pc

I have no opinion.
When I installed Windows 10 on a 2005 computer, I also helped some others with the same model [and the same hardware components].
My computer's Windows 10 performance was satisfactory. Some of the others reported very slow Windows 10 performance. Some others reported that Windows 10 was altogether unusable.
We never identified any difference between my computer & theirs, between my drivers & theirs or between the upgrade procedures we had all used.
So I no longer ever have an opinion about the likely performance of any computer in any OS.

... get the updates and security updates

Yes. They all do. They all get monthly Cumulative updates that include all the security updates. They also get updates for minor things such as .Net framework.
I still think there was some special circumstance affecting your previous experience.

I also updated a very old non-compliant computer to Windows 11.
It gets automatic updates.
Others have posted that their old, non-compliant ones also get automatic updates.
Look around this thread and you'll see reports about them.
Upgrading with the Windows 11 RTM ISO on a well-below spec computer [my post #266] - ElevenForum
What none of us got were automatic updates to the next Windows 11 Version [22H2].
Perhaps there is something blocking WU on that old computer of yours i.e. you are witnessing fault symptoms or the action of a WU-suppressing utility rather than non-compliance symptoms.

soon win12

There is only speculation about the possible Windows 12 project. There are no facts.



All the best,

my hp probook 6470b does not get some green lights the tpm is 1.2 it has 2 cores and one more issue. i did have win11 on it for a bit and i never got any updates with the win11 i used.....

Then there was something wrong with the Win11 you used. Where did you get it from? I get all my install media direct from Microsoft and use some well known workarounds to skip the checks at install time.

I have Windows 11 running well on several unsupported PCs and they all get their updates. This old netbook of mine is so far below spec it's almost a submarine
