I have an old laptop with XP that I use from time to time. I know that Microsoft has stopped service to XP computers, but recently I have been getting windows updates for it. Is this okay, or are these fake?

You blame me? Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

So long as you're getting them through Microsoft's Windows Update on your computer you're okay.
Every serious computer software provider* will endeavor to continue as long as they're alive to send out fixes for serious/dangerous/egregious problems in/with their software (and even hardware on rare occasion!)
I've even seen updates to MS Security Essentials on systems that aren't even legally activated!
PS: I have my doubts about Adobe, however, which is why I stopped using any of their stuff many years ago....
