My iPad version of OS is 11. Can I still update my iPad?

well, my iPad version of OS happened to be 11. But I wanna update my iPad to 14. Is it even possible? I’ve tried many times but always pops up an error.

Your iPad is too far behind in iOS upgrades/updates.

You need to plug that iPad into a computer, connected to the Internet, using the latest version of iTunes ( older Mac or Windows PC ) and let iTunes upgrade your iPad to iPadOS 14.2.

If a newer Mac with newer macOS, then you need to plug that iPad into the newer Mac and use the macOS Finder to upgrade that iPad to iPadOS 14.2.
