Not updating my new iPad to ios 26.1, it is infinitely in "preparing updates". Is there any way I can transfer my data without updating? Thank you

It's an issue that some users encounter: The device locks if an iPadOS update is installed while transferring the data.
Restart the new iPad and set it up as a new device, without transferring your data. Upgrade to iPadOS 26.1 and erase the new iPad. Then, configure the new iPad by doing the data transfer.
