Are you facing any issue with the Windows Update?

    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?

      fwalschap ... I installed Windows 11 in a dual boot config on my computer.  Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 are linked to the digital licence key of my microsoft account.

      I do receive updates from Microsoft.  Latest ones are a number of cumulative update for Windows 11 and its anti-malware service.

      So everything appears to fully work on my computer.

      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.
      However, in case you bypass the requirements, for example in case your CPU is not supported but you use methods to upgrade (which is possible), then your PC will be put into unsupported state. 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.
