Q: Transferring backup from vs 7 iPad to new iPad vs 8
I have an iPad 3 that I am still running Vs 7. I have not updated because I have only 2 G left on device. I have backed up the device onto iTunes on my PC. And of course the device is backed up daily on iCloud. I am planning to purchase an iPad Air 2. Do I need to update my old iPad to vs 8 first and back up onto iTunes again and of course the Cloud to transfer all my data to the new iPad?
I have an app that is a .pdf editor where I can save and edit documents and another app where I can save .pdf knitting patterns with in the app. Will all the data in these apps be backed up in the back up to iTunes and iCloud? Or do I need to scramble and find a way to transfer all that data to my PC in some way?
WIll Apple do the data transfer if I purchase the iPad at the Apple store?
