Why does my HTC Desire 610, running Android v4.4.2 and WiFi connected, falsely allege "your phone is up to date" and "no updates available"?

While cleaning my attic, I unerathed an HTC Desire 610 from 2014. I hope to use it as a backup phone. I can't afford to buy a new phone, as COVID unemployed me.

As at today, the Latest release is Android 11. So why's my HTC Desire 610 fibbing, and not updating to Android 11? I connected it successfully to WiFi, which I checked by accessing the Internet.

Why do you think the claim stated by the phone are false? For all i can tell, what the phone tells appears to be truthful. It's a 7 years old phone model, so basically Android 4.x.x is (sadly) to be expected "up-to-date" with respect to the support and SW update policy given by its manufacturer. Equally, it appears to be truthful to me of the phone saying "no update available", because that's exactly the level of support for older devices i would expect from most makers of Android devices...         ¯\(ツ)
