Changing users on an iPad

My sisters giving me her iPad and I ant to completely reset it to connect to my Apple ID, do I go to settings --> reset --> erase all content and settings? Will that let me start the iPad all over and connect my information?

If your Sister has generously given you her iPad, she really ought to follow this procedure:

What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


This will properly prepare the iPad for its new owner, erasing all existing data - and will remove the Activation Lock. After the process completes, you’ll be able to set-up the iPad as new - from the initial “Hello” screen.
