Merging 2 iPads into 1 iPad

Hi all, I keep 2 iPads under my same Apple ID (one is private use, one is from my job employer).

Now, I bought a New iPad and I want to start it combining both old iPads into one. To get rid off the old iPads. Is that possible?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 13

when you use the same appleID you can restore the new one with any of the two if they run the same ios version

and then use the appleID on that


all apps tied to the appleID will show up under app store click your icon in the upper corner ->purchased->my purchases


and the two old ones you can get rid of

Thank you very much.


i keep both Ipads separate (Business and Private) and many apps are in one but not in the other. They all have some customized app (eg. manuals or list of selections).... so, I am worried to restore one from the cloud (on the new ipad) and the other one comes with the apps blank (not with my adjustments in it)
