How do I deauthorise my iPad?
I'm trying to authorise my new laptop, but I'm told there are five devices authorised, including an old iPad. I can't remove this.
Windows, Windows 10

Only computers are authorized devices; iPads are not.
You can remove all authorized devices by using the "Deauthorize All" option described in Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
iPads can be "associated" devices but that doesn't affect the authorized 5 device limit. For more information see: Authorization vs. association - Apple Community

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I wanted to avoid the sledgehammer approach of removing all, but I did do this after you advised it and the process worked perfectly well. I would recommend it for anyone else with this problem.
