How to sync 2 iPads

I have 2 Apple iPad Airs but their iOS is 15.6 and 12.5.5. Is it possible to have both of them synced? I would like them both to be identical. If so, can you walk me through on how to get this done?

iPad Air, iOS 12

You can keep the majority of your data synchronised by using iCloud services.


You’ll not be able to “synchronise” your Home Screen layouts - these will have to be managed manually.
