You're very welcome.
Yes, you will get all of the W11 security and cumulative updates with W11.
I have upgraded 11 non supported W11 PC's to W11 and they all have gotten the updates.
I check them against a fully supported W11 PC that I have to make sure.
Here is the information you requested...
I would make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future. I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section.
Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.

No registry changes needed. No need to create installation media.
Just download the W11 ISO file, and the guy's zip file.
Put both of those files in the same folder.

Hi:
Unfortunately, that would not be possible.
There are only two supported Intel 7th gen core processors for that model series.

If you are interested, in upgrading your PC to W11 as is, I can post a link for how to bypass the W11 hardware checks so you can easily do an in-place upgrade to W11.
