iPhone, itunes, mac mini save and retrieve iPhone info

OK, this is about compatibility.
I have a 2009 mac mini running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) have a backed up copy of my old iPhone4 on it in iTunes 11.4 (18).
I just got a new iPhone 7, this is not compatible with the iTunes on my old mini.
Lost my old iPhone 4 but, like I said, I thought I was safe because of the backup I had just done. This old mini can only accommodate OS-X El Capitan.
Question: If I do the system upgrade will it be enough to restore my old iPhone 4 info onto my new iPhone 7?
Can this even work?

+yes, it can. as long as the old info has been saved off. install el cap and then plug in your new phone.
