Your iPad is too old for any more iOS upgrades/updates.
That iPad Mini will soon be 9-years old, now, in 2021.
It is too old and no longer supported, at all.
Sorry.
Time to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished OR used iPad models, from better known, trusted Apple product/device retailers/resellers, locally or from the Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.
There are PLENTY of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
What year and model iPad do you have/own?
The “A” model number can be found on aluminium back of your iPad in small print right under the larger bold print “iPad”.
Your model number corresponds to a 2012 iPad Mini 1st generation.
The highest iOS version of that iPad model is iOS 9.3.5.9.3.6.
Thank you.
