Big Sur is the end of the line for the MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014).


Big Sur is currently one of the "most recent three" (which matters if you want to run current application software from Microsoft or Adobe). This will change when Apple releases Sonoma.


If you have 4 GB of RAM (that model came with 4 GB or 8 GB), that is technically enough to run Big Sur; however, memory space might be a bit tight.
