Hello,


If your iPad will not update past 10 then you have an iPad (4th generation). This iPad model does not support any system version newer than 10. You cannot update your iPad any further. If you need to use an application that requires a newer system software version then you will need to purchase a newer iPad model.

Nope.

This will never be possible.

Your iPad 2is an over 9-year old iPad, now.

It's internal hardware is too old and too underpowered to ugrade to any other iOS, but iOS 9.


Sorry, but that is just the way it is.


I wouldn't even bother with doing anything with this iPad, now!.

Here is why.


Tap and read my links below for my full and complete additional info about your iPad model.

Time for a new, refurbished and much, MUCH “newer” ( read used ) iPad model.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
