Most motherboard manufacturers began restricting the onboard floppy controller from two floppy drives to 1 around the Pentium 4/Athlon era. I have seen motherboards with a floppy interface as late as the LGA775 core2 era but by then it was only on low-end or commercial/industrial application motherboards.
Anything older than that like your mentioned PII and 486 will work just fine.

Windows 10 will still work with a 5.25" floppy drive natively, but only if it's a real floppy controller, detected by the BIOS and early versions of EFI.
