See the following Apple Support article for information on updating an iPad via iTunes: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes - Apple Support


If you have a Mac that is running Catalina or later, use Finder instead of iTunes as described in Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Finder - Apple Support
