I have an iPad 6th generation I did a factory reset on it for a gift to my daughter and now when we turn it on it says must be updated before it will start up. I don’t have a SIM card and that’s what is required on iTunes to do an update. Do you have to have a SIM card to update the device? Also how would I get a SIM card without having to have service on it?
No, you don't need a SIM card.
An iPad can be "Wifi only" or "Wifi+Cellular" and people owning the former model are able to update the device wirelessly (via wifi).
Unfortunately you didn't use the appropriate procedure, this one:-->What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
Disconnect your iPad from the computer and try to update it wirelessly.
