You can still use it, but some websites may now block your access for using outdated browser technology and application developers have long since set a much newer version of iPadOS as the criterion for installing applications from the iOS App Store (also excluded from iOS 10.3.4 updates).


I have an an older iPad here running iOS 10.3.4 and it stays in the closet. I have a newer iPad 5 running iPadOS 16.7.2 that I occasionally use.


If you like the iPad and want to perform current activities on it, I suggest you consider either a new one, or a refurbished model from Apple at reduced cost.
