Gen 1 ipad

After reading several posts, I believe I now have a Gen 1 iPad. I wiped it clean to start fresh and now the iOS is 9.4.5. I want to update back to iOS 12 so I can use it. What are my options?

iPad 2, iOS 9

Question marked as Apple recommended

A Gen 1, 2, 3 or 4 iPad cannot run iOS 12. If you are at iOS 9.4.5 on your Gen 1 iPad, you never had iOS 12 to begin with.


If as I imagine you are seeing many apps no longer available for such an old device, it's time for a newer more modern device.
