Difficult to say yes or no when you haven't told us which model. I'm guessing no since that is a version that many devices can run but no higher.


Here's how to...

Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - https://support.apple.com/HT204204 - When you update you will only be given one update selection which will be the highest available iOS version supported by your device. If it says no update is available and you need a higher version you will have to buy newer equipment.

Short answer?

You don't.

Your iPad's internal hardware is too old and underpowered to run iOS 10 and any later versions of iOS.


Sorry.


If you need an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, as well as, the most current apps available, then, you will need to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website.


Best of Luck to You!
