If you call my-apple, part of what they can do is set up a genus session
with your local apple store. Of course you can talk to them apple has a
major customer service hub in Austin Texas.
Still, if you anticipate a new machine soon, perhaps waiting makes more
sense in general. Unless the memory factors are so frustrating they
impact getting things done.
In that case improving the value of your current machine for sale or
whatever would make the memory factor worth considering.

we have an actual Apple store here in Fort Worth, Tx. I don’t think you can
just call and talk to somebody though. within the next few months it appears I
might have the opportunity to get a new Mac mini. if that chance comes up I’m
not going to waste it that’s for sure.

Speaking personally?
It depends on where you are in the world, but I would first call 1-800-my apple.
I would speak to support, share our apple id so they can know more details and
ask for my options.
Then perhaps report that here.
There are often loads of ways to upgrade a mac, or that used to be the case,
older machines can sometimes have an advantage.
cost may depend on things like warranty, but as an example in Toronto we have a
store called simply mac that specializes on apple computers, have been here
since the 1990's.
sometimes they do the upgrades for the experience, or connect you with free
geeks who do it as well.
Still, speaking personally, I would start with getting answers from apple
directly, just my thoughts of course.

Yes, my opinion is not to try Big Sur given the 8 GB of Ram.

tell me exactly what you’re looking for and where to find it. I assume it might

I’m running Catalina on my old Mac Mini. I had to roll back to it. lately I’ve
been considering going up to Big Sur. I never ran that one so I have no idea
how my Mac would handle it. Monterey was too much for it. does anybody have
experience with Big Sur on their old Mac? do you have any suggestions or advice
for me. maybe I should leave well enough alone. suggestions and advice welcome.
thanks.
