MacBook Air 4,1 11-inch 1.6 GHz (Mid-2011) is the subnotebook, engineered, designed and manufactured by Apple, and it's the compromise MacBook Pro and MacBook Retina. It is the ultra-thin machined aluminum case with a full-size backlit keyboard, 11.6-inch widescreen TFT LED backlit active-matrix display and flash storage drive.
Alright first up, unfortunately you can't just install a Time Machine backup of a Mac that has High Sierra (before you've updated your firmware). MacOS High Sierra is a free release and the final version only will be available officially via Apple's own App Store. New macOS High Sierra Features Long-term Mac users can guess that macOS High Sierra (10.13) is a refinement of macOS Sierra (10.12) because of the naming structure. Apple's MacOS High Sierra update offers lots of behind-the-scenes changes that should make the Apple's desktop OS easy to use. High Sierra might disappoint those looking for whizzy new features. Tetsujin is right. It's fairly easy to upgrade a 4,1 to 5,1 and install Westmere processors. I have a 4,1 upgraded to 5,1 dual processor 2.26 upgraded to 2 x 3.33 GHz X5680 and a 4,1 single quad processor 2.66 GHz upgraded to a a 5,1 six core 3.46 GHz X5690. No problems for me adding High Sierra firmware update to the dual processor and still. Same system requirements as Sierra: You should be able to run High Sierra on the same Macs as its predecessor ran on: iMacs and MacBooks from late 2009 and later; and MacBook Airs, the MacBook.
