Do you lose any security benefits (of Windows 10) by updating your system to Windows 11, or just "new" Windows 11 security mechanisms?

The same security mechanisms are available in new Windows 10 builds, but it does not enable them automatically because of said ancient machines.
In particular certain security issue mitigations are terrible performance on older CPUs (think easily up to 20% performance loss). If your machine is ancient enough, it won't even get Core Security.
