With that membership, you'll get keep getting upgrades as long as your hardware supports them. This is just like Chrome, your apps, and other operating systems like iOS operate.
So, just like Apple and Android phones, Macbooks, and I presume Chromebooks and Surface devices, OS updates will keep getting pushed to your device until your device can no longer function acceptably, and you'll be forced to upgrade the hardware.
This is the OS software industry's solution to the "problem" that the hardware became good enough for most people and new sales dropped.
