From: Identify your iPad model - Apple Support
The model number corresponds to the First Generation 2010 iPad.
At 10 years old, its going to be a bit difficult to find accessories for it at this point. Also for what its worth, its pretty useless now. You won't be able to download any Apps for it, and even built in Apps like the Youtube app will no longer work.

You can add your Apple ID, but there are no apps in the App store anymore that will work on that model of iPad. Its extremely old in tech terms.
I own one of those, and Its just good for a picture frame at this point.
If you want something that can run current versions of Netflix and the Kids Youtube App, you need something that can run at least iOS 12. That is an iPad Air 2 or later.
Don't bother with any of the earlier iPads before the Air 2 at this point in time.
I wouldn't go any farther with this 10-year old iPad, any longer!
It is a waste of your time and efforts.
This iPad has NOT had ANY compatible apps since 2015/2016.
That old iPad is pretty much a useless device today and is not worth any efforts to get working.
I would not even trust that very old iOS Safari Web browser to be safe and secure on the Internet.
Just abandon this device and recycle it responsibly.
A lot has happened with iPad and iOS in the past 10-years and in the past 8 years since this iPad's last official iOS update from Apple!
As an example and compared to that over 10-years old iPad 4th generation model,
The cheapest, baseline 2019, 10.2 inch screen, 32 GBs internal storage ( 24 GBs actual usable storage space ), 7th gen Apple iPads have a 1/2 inch larger retina screen, it is overall lighter, in weight, newer, more powerful and approx. 3 times faster 2.3 Ghz, A10 Fusion processor ( CPU ), AT LEAST 10 times the internal RAM, with the 2019, 7th gen iPad having 3 GBs of internal RAM, iPadOS 13 support, with much better and improved multitasking features and much fuller support for externally connected data drives, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart keyboard cover support and have better audio speakers and the addition of better/improved built-in cameras.
In addition, if you search online and look at various, reputable online Apple device resellers, you can usually find this 2019, 7th gen iPad at various discounts, depending on storage size and whether it is a WiFi ONLY model or a WiFi/cellular data model.
This is the harsh reality for these 8 and 9-year old, OR OLDER, iOS devices, now!
Time for a new, refurbished or much “newer” ( read used ) iPad.
If you must purchase older, used iPad models, DO NOT look at anything older than a 2014 iPad Air 2 or 2015 iPad Mini 4.
Both of these models are the oldest iPad models that the up and coming iPadOS 14 will support, in the Fall of 2020.
If you must purchased used devices from unknown, untrusted sources, you must ask A WHOLE LOT more questions of the iOS device seller, ask for more photo/images, ask if the iPad has user/iCloud activation lock and ask for photos/images/short video proof, ANY POSITIVE, VISUAL PROOF, that such an iPad has been reset to factory settings and shown proof of the iOS device's start up screen showing the animated, moving, multi-language “Hello” Welcome to iPad screen.
If the iOS device seller is unwilling to do all of this to show you that the iPad, in question, is ready to use with no barriers to new user activation and use, pass on the iOS device and look at other iOS device sellers, elsewhere, who will be more accommodating to answering questions and providing visual image or video proof of a proper factory reset iPad.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
If you have two Factor Authentication, you will need to enter the code you are getting together with the password in the password field at the same time.
If the code is "12345" and your password is "mypass" you enter both into the password field at the same time with no spaces like: "mypass12345".
Surprisingly enough I did find a couple apps like Zoom and Photo Transfer that I was able to download to my First Gen iPad running iOS 5.1.1 but most things I tried simply said they were incompatible. You may still find something that will download as I did, but its going to be really difficult and there will be very very few apps.
The first gen iPad is a relic at this point. Its really not going to do much.
If you had Zoom and Photo Transfer on another iOS device, there is a chance that there are still an older version to still download to a 2010, 1st gen iPad.
But older, compatible apps for these 8, 9 and 10-year old iPads are going away now, permanently, at an alarming rate!
If you are trying to download these for the fist time, initially, from the iOS App Store, such apps will be incompatible with that 10-year old iPad, now!
Zoom requires iOS 9 and later and most of the Photo/image transfer apps need, at least, iOS 7 and later and many need either iOS 8 or 9 and later.
So, basically if the 2010, 1st gen iPad has no third party apps on it, you will NOT get ANY older compatible versions to initially download from the iOS App Store, any longer!
