No, but I had read somewhere that if you did not go through the upgrade process you would not be able to install updates afterwards. I haven't started the installation yet. Did you had to enter a new license key or did it use the Win10 license key?
Thank you for the clarification.
In case your device is ready for the Windows 11, and it means in case you run the PC Health Check app, it shows your system is ready, then upgrading to the Windows 11 using Windows Update menu (recommended) or manually using DVD or USB then you will receive all updates when available.

In this case, you might be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but you might not receive all updates, because your system is not supported.
