My old iPad Pro (2018) has iOS 18.
New iPad Pro has iOS 17.7 and says it is up to date.
I can’t get them to talk to each other because iOS are different on each.
I can’t figure out how to find iOS 18 to force new one to update to it.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
You can only transfer or restore data to a target device that has the same or later version of iPadOS as the source. As such, if you have first updated your old iPad to a more recent version of iPadOS than the target, the transfer or restore process will fail.
As Apple has temporarily suspended deployment of the iPadOS 18 update for iPad Pro M4, you will not be able to transfer your data until iPadOS 18 is re-released for your new iPad. While Apple have not as yet announced the release date, release of iPadOS 18.0.1 is anticipated soon.

Apple pulled iPadOS 18 for the iPad Pro M4 because some users were having issues. You’ll need to wait for Apple to reissue iPadOS 18, which should come rather soon.
Once your new iPad is updated, you’’l be able to transfer the data from the old one.
