Hi Nikhil,

Yes if you update the records with dataloder and record satisfies the flow start condition and flow is active they will trigger the records.

Let me know if you face any issues.

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Yes, you can do a dummy update on past records using Flow in Salesforce. To do this, you can create a flow that updates a specific field on records to a dummy value, then back to its original value. This would trigger any workflow rules or processes that are tied to the field being updated.
