Cannot update software 14.4

I had tried to update the software 14.4 on my iPad but takes ages on preparing update then goes back to square one “Download & Install”, then a repeat of what you just attempted.

tried almost everything then finally a reset “Erasing Contents & Settings” tried the software update 14.4 but once again fails to install.

regardless I installed software update 14.4 on my second Apple Air iPad 2.

Question:

what else can be done to over come the failure each time?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 13

You may have greater chance of success if you connect your iPad to a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS). Once connected to your computer, your iPad will be detected - and you should be able to update activate using iTunes/Finder.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If your iPad is capable of being updated to a more recent version of iOS/iPadOS than is currently installed, these support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support

iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support
