My grandson uses my old iPad2; he moves to senior school soon
and I will give him it and one of the old iPhones. I had planned to set him up
with a new iCloud email address (associated with MY iCloud) flatten both
devices and then set them up again with his new iCloud email address BUT he would
like to retain some of the games which he has on it. The purchased items cannot
be moved so:-
What is the best solution please?
Many thanks,
iPad, iPadOS 13
