It will run just fine. The question is: bootcamp or a virtual machine? VMs are nice because they can runs long side OS10, meaning you can literally switch to Windows like switching to any other application on the Mac. You also don't need to reboot just to get Windows, you can start it or shut it down whenever. However, VMs need resources, so they take ram and processing power. On powerful machines this is not a problem, but if your Air has only 2gb of ram then you might not find this a good fit.
Your other option is Bootcamp, which lets you put Windows on a separate partition on your hard drive and run it from there. You need to reboot to switch operating systems, but Windows will not be sharing resources so it will run more normally.
