That is actually an iPad Mini 1, which can not be upgraded beyond 9.3.5.

The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from upgrading to iOS 10.
They all share similar hardware architectures and a less powerful 1.0 Ghz CPU that Apple has deemed insufficiently powerful enough to even run the basic, barebones features of iOS 10.

Sorry.

Well,
I guess I can't complain, since my iPad was a gift.
