Apple support's article:
How to: Identify your MacBook Air model – Apple Support
says the newest compatible operating system for MacBook Air (2017) is macOS Monterey, so that's all good.
However upgrading from Yosemite to Big Sur or Monterey means changing all apps from 32 bit apps to 64 bit apps . . .
ie: Non-Apple (third-party) 32 bit apps will need deleting or upgrading.
Also, the upgrade should be done gradually. Rather than in one giant leap, the upgrade would generally need to be done in smaller steps.
About the transition to 64-bit technology and how it affects 32-bit apps:
32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support
macOS Mojave was the last version of macOS to run 32-bit apps.
