IPad Air 4th generation
I received this IPad and was asked to store all the pictures in another device. My PC doesn't recognize the IPad at all not directly connected or with wi-fi. Somebody could tell me why?

To synchronise or transfer files directly between iPad and a Windows PC, you will need to install the most recent version of iTunes for Windows:
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
If your iPad isn’t recognised when connected, try using a different USB port. Otherwise, this support page should help with troubleshooting connection difficulties:
If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you simply wish to exchange files and photos with the iPad from the Windows PC, you might instead consider using iCloud for Windows. When signed-in with the same AppleID, you can simply use iCloud to exchange or synchronise files:
iCloud for Windows
Download iCloud for Windows – Apple Support
Set up and use iCloud for Windows – Apple Support
You can install and use both on the PC. They will happily coexist - and provide considerable flexibility in how you move/share/transfer photos and other documents and data between iPad, iPhone and your PC.
