So I would interpret that as meaning no.

The 1st gen iPad Air and the iPad Mini 2 and 3 have been excluded from the up and coming iPadOS.

Sorry.

You need, at least an iPad Air 2 or better or iPad Mini 4 or better for iPadOS.

Are you sure you own an iPad Air 2?

What is the model number on the back of the iPad starting with an “A”?

This is what it looks like from About. . . and no, not starting with an A.

Software Version: 12.4.1

Model Name: iPad Air 2

Model Number: FGL12LL/A

Serial Number: F8QS. . . . . . .

Yes - Refurb and after free'ng up almost 2G of the Internal space, the upgrade started and succeeded.

Thank you and I appreciated the help!!

What could be causing OS 13.1.3 (downloaded) not installing on my iPad Air 2 from 12.4.1 when my iPad Air 2 is wifi connected, 100% charged and rebooted several times? I'm getting this message "Unable to Install Update, An error occured installing iPadOS 13.1.3" - Retry or Remind Me Later. Is there way to abandon this current installation process and go back to Step1 of the install? Should I back it up, upgrade and restore?

Thank You!

The “A“ model is on the back of the iPad in small print under the large word iPad.

Your iPad Air 2 must be a refurbished model as the normal model number for any iPad starts with an “M”.

Do you have a beta iOS version installed on that iPad?

How much internal free data storage space is left inside your iPad Air 2?

Sorry, no. The 1st gen iPad Air is no longer compatible with iPadOS.
