Yes.

Does make me wonder what other hardware will eventually stop upgrades. There arent that many 'essential' items, graphics and disk probably being about it, that would leave the computer unable to work, so maybe nothing else will.

Support for wi-fi or network cards might disappear over time but I doubt that would make Microsoft stop an upgrade, because you can buy a replacement adapter.
