what the easiest way to start my iPad start using the cloud again because money isn’t the issue so what Else can I do that I’m over looking to restart the process? My appalogies I have a lot of different electronic platforms I’m dealing with like all the major ones. And I’m trying to get something done with the DMV yeah I think that sums it up.
iPad, iOS 10
To fully erase and reset your iPad - and start again with set-up from the initial “hello” page - follow this process:
What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
The tags appended to your post suggest that you have an iPad4 with iOS10 installed. As such, a reset of your iPad may not be in your best interest…
If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then do have an iPad4. Update support for iPad4 ended September 2017. The final iOS releases for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions. The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is obsolete.
Most (if not all) App Developers have dropped all support for 32-bit devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making utility and usefulness of older models significantly more limited. Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them - this having implications for a full reset of an iPad.
If currently available Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements than your iPad can support, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad9 supports current iPadOS 15 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that vastly outperform your old iPad4.
I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the fundamental limitations of your iPad4 and your available options.

None of this applies to me restoring my iPad with cloud operations?
