can a MacBook Air 13", 2015 be upgraded to Big Sur?

I was wondering whether it is possible to upgrade a MacBook Air 13", 2015 to Big Sur. When I try it, there does not seem to be enough memory available, or at least that is what the program tells me.

Any help available?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
