I have a late 2013 model MacBook Pro that is running Big Sur without any
apparent issues (apart from known Big Sur bugs, of course).
It's probably faster than your MacBook Air. Performance is rather slow,
but not obviously more so than under Catalina.

That's what I was thinking, but I just wasn't sure whether to go all the way up
to Big Sur, or just upgrade to Catalina.
Cheers,

interesting. My mom's not all that particular about having the latest and
greatest, so if it's slow under both Big Sur and Catalina, maybe I will just
leave it with its current OS.

Hi all, I agree with Robert. I would let the user decide if they want to
upgrade or not.
God bless.

Personally I would be looking for a MacBook with Mojave, to use with older
applications on that older hardware platform. Then could upgrade my current
Mac to Big Sur.

BTW while on this overall topic, is it still possible to downgrade from
Catalina to Mojave?

It's not on Catalina, it's still running High Sierra, I think.

I'd use my valuable time because one possibility is that I will give it to my
mom. She's older, and not very techie, so it'd be easier for me to do the
upgrade for her.

Additionally, if you now firmly that the machine runs well with its
current operating system, you do not want to upgrade.
Largely because you cannot guarantee the quality of what you are selling.
Let the buyer decide if they want to make changes after getting a machine
working at its best when
okay then.
my two cents.
Leave the unit running the system best for the hardware itself, something
I imagine is easily discovered by either consulting apple's site or
giving them a call.
Same reasoning however. you want to sell from a place of, I now it works
perfectly right now.
If ou make
I’d just wipe it, and reload High Sierra.
Let the new owner decide what they want to do.

Hi all,
I have a 2013 Macbook Air that I’m getting redy to sell. I’m trying to decide
whether to upgrade it to Big Sur or Catalina. Since I’m going to sell it, VO
issues with Big Sur are not of primary concern. So, is anyone running Big Sur
on one of these Macs? If so, does it run OK?
TIA,
Hi,
I am writing to add my two cents, If it was me, I would leave it on Catalina
and let the new owner upgrade if they want to.
I don’t know how well that model will run Big Sur. This is just my opinion.
Thanks,
Rob

upgrade? If it were me, I’d simply indicate that the computer is on Catalina
and let whoever buys it decide whether or not to upgrade.
