Apple air OS upgrade

How do we update the Apple Air Ipad so that we can reinstall Netflix? needs 13 OS and higher and we are on 12.5.5 so need 13 at least. Where can I update to that instead of the 15 as it seems we are not compatible to upgrade to 15? Which is really awful of Apple as this ipad is my sons.

iPad Air first generation (2013) tops out at iOS 12.5.5, and lacks the hardware necessary for newer iPadOS versions.


There are no hardware upgrades available.


Your options are a newer (used, refurb) or new iPad.


Any recent iPad model will be substantially more capable than iPad Air first generation.
