Yeah it is. It’s the same age as my mba and it has Catalina running.

I7 intel, 8GB ram 256 flash drive. Is this machine capable of handling the upgrade? Also, I’ve always just upgraded over the previous OS without doing a clean install. And, I do my upgrades not from a flash drive, but from the recovery menu. Its been a while and I’m not sure of the process anymore. I think I do the following 1 After doing all necessary backups (btw: what are they?), I log into the recovery window by holding Option R at startup? 2 Here where it gets fuzzy. Do I have to wipe and reformat the drive, then select install os from the recovery menu? Take me through it someone please. I’m not doing a clean install - I’ll take my chances as I’ve always done by just installing over the old OS. And, I’m not using a flash drive but want to do the upgrade over ethernet cable from the recovery menu screen.
