You probably can't.


Read this link for the easiest way to find out what your device can run: "Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" --> https://support.apple.com/HT204204

- When you try to update you will only be given one update selection which will be the highest available iOS version supported by your device. If it says the device is up to date and you need a higher OS version you will have to buy newer equipment.
