Q: Updating to iOS 10 with Windows XP
I have an older PC with Windows XP, Media Center, SP3 (cannot afford to update or buy a new PC...on disability 8+ yrs). It has iTunes 12.1.3.6 installed. Every time I try to update my iPad or iPhone to iOS 10, iTunes indicates that I need iTunes v12.1.2 and offers me a button to download it, but when I click it, nothing happens.
Where can I download this version of iTunes for Windows XP?
iPhone 6s, Windows XP, iTunes 12.1.2; iPad

Testing has shown that if you update the iPhone over the air to iOS 10.0.2 it will still be able to sync with iTunes 12.1.3.6 although it is possible that a subsequent update to iOS may break this compatibility. iTunes 12.5.1 is the minimum version that will upgrade or restore iOS 10, however you could choose to rely on iCloud for backup and restore.
