Big Sur Update not available for 2015 MacBook Air

I have a 2015 MacBook Air. It's currently running El Capitan. When I check for updates, it tells me there are none. It looks like I should be able to get Big Sur on this laptop, but I don't seem to be able to. Any suggestions?

If your MacBook Air is compatible search the Mac App Store for macOS Big Sur and download it from there.
