Can I find a way for my iPad Air 1st edition to update
iPad Air, iOS 12
Your iPad lacks sufficient RAM to run anything higher than iOS 12.5.5. Even if you could somehow get iOS 13, your iPad would be unable to run it, meaning you'd end up with a device which doesn't run well, if at all.
Time to upgrade to a newer, more modern iPad at this point.
The first gen iPad Air cannot update beyond iOS 12.

Dear Lyssa, I’s there any way I can get my iPad to update to maybe iOS 13?
~Jay
No. Apple determines the last update for an iPad, and iOS 12 is the final version for that iPad.

My iPad Air won’t update to ipados 15
