upgrade mid-2012 macbook pro operating system

What is the latest OS I can upgrade to with a mid-2012 15 inch MacBook Pro (retina)? It has 8gb ram, 512 gb HD. My current OS is Sierra (10.12.1).


Is it possible to upgrade to Big Sur?


Do I have to do sequential updates through the intermediary OS versions?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12
