Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I have a first gen iPad Pro which will update to ios16. I also have a 2nd gen iPad Pro which will not update to iOS 16. Can I transfer the iOS 16 on the 1st gen iPad pro to the 2nd gen iPad Pro ?
iPad, iOS 9
All models of iPad Pro, without exception, are capable of update to iPadOS 16.x.
These support pages outline both the available methods by which the update can be performed - and troubleshooting should you experience difficulties:
Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support
iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support
Be aware that while an iPad may be capable of update, in some circumstances it may be necessary to perform the update using a computer. To do so, you will need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). Ensure that your installed version of iTunes has been updated to the most recent version; the essential device drivers are included.

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support
If you have a beta profile installed, ensure this has been removed from your iPad - as, otherwise, installation of production software updates may be inhibited. This support page provides the necessary information to remove the beta from your iPad:

You should note that for your iPad to install an available update, its battery must be charged to at least 50% capacity - and/or be connected to its Power Adapter. Similarly, the iPad can only be updated over a standard WiFi connection - or be updated by a PC or Mac using iTunes or Finder - over a USB connection.

I have two new 2nd gen iPad pros, neither of which will update to iOS 16. The installation never completes on either one. I've tried deleting the update and retrying, still doesn't work. I could do a reset but don't want to lose all the information I have installed on both iPads. I also have a 1st gen iPad Pro, it updated to iOS 16 with no problems.
All generations of the iPad Pro are compatible with iOS 16.
will the iOS be transferred to the new iPad
