Could I update a 2012 Mac mini to Catalina?

Hello!

I am thinking about getting a 2012 Mac mini. (Not a Late 2012, just a 2012) If it didn't arrive with Catalina, could I update to Catalina?

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and if it's a 2012 model(not a 2011 one originally sold in 2012), click on Catalina. You may need to wait for Apple to fix an issue on the App Store servers before the link will work.
