Swapping info from one iPad to another

My brother in law recently received a new iPad 10th Generation running OS 17.5.1. My sister has iPad Air2 running OS 15.8.2. After using for 1 week, his iPad is way too sophisticated for his use.

How can we transfer or “swap” the info from his to hers & vice versa?


iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

Ensure that both iPads have either an iCloud (recommended) or iTunes backup:
