See Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support and specifically Update your device using your computer.


But if you have an iPad mini first-generation still running iOS 9 (and most probably 9.3.6) there's no upgrade available.


Only option there is a newer or new iPad, as there’s no hardware upgrade.


The hardware lacks the processing and memory needed for the newer iOS and PadOS versions.
