Mac mini 2014 update to Big Sur

[MrMac104]

Hello to all.

I need to know if my Mac mini would be sluggish on Big Sur.

I'm currently using the base 2014 model on Catalina, (I've recently updated from Sierra) and I want to update again! But I'm skeptical because it could SLUG my computer.

Here are my exact Specs...

1.4 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5

4GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536MB

500GB HDD

The people over at the Apple communities won't answer my question..I REALLY would appreciate it if someone would reply.

Thanks!

Possibly sluggish due to HHD and 4 GB RAM, but just FYI I am running Big Sur Vers 11.6.5 just fine with Mid-2014 MacBook Pro but with
2.6 GHz Dual-core Intel Cor i5
8 GB RAM (1600 MHz DDR3)
480 GB SSD
Graphics: Intel Iris 1536 MB
