Yes, I believe it can be upgraded as far as Catalina. Strongly suggest having a Time Machine Backup and a Cloned copy of SSD before attempting any upgrade. Note, Catalina does NOT support 32 bit applications

Hmmm - thank you. Each time I try to download Catalina however it simply stops. When I did some googling it indicated Catalina was only compatible on the 2017 11 and 13 inches (perhaps as the 12 inch appears to have been discontinued?) I was just wondering if anyone had successfully downloaded it onto a 12 inch 2017 MacBook Air?
