It has plenty of RAM and storage space, as well as a faster processor than a Mac Book Air 2015.

It never pays to get too far behind in the hardware or software.

There is an old Egyptian proverb "The dog may bark but the caravan moves on."

This is a recurring question, with many threads available you can read as many or as few as you care to,

here is one ref:

Hardware too old and does not meet the required specs.
