You can't.

That iPad model is nearly 11-years old now, and has long been unsupported by Apple and has been unsupported by third party app developers for nearly 6 years.

Apple ONLY supported this “early adopter” iPad model for one full year and that was it!

Your iPad model is far too old, now.


Sorry.


It is really time to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH, MUCH “newer” , and less expensive, used iPad model capable of running the latest iPadOS versions. There are plenty of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.

A WHOLE LOT has happened with iPad and iOS in nearly the past 11-years.

AND Apple supports all of its newer iPad models for between 5-6 years, now!



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
