Dear Spartan Trader
I will describe what I did last night and see if it works for you
Ok, I updated for iOS 9.3 an iPhone 4s with no problem at all and an iPad 4
After downloading the software and installed I reached the point where the screen says Hello
On the Windows 10 PC opened the newest iTunes and connected the iPad
A square icon appeared on the left upper side of the screen
Gave a click on this icon and identified the iPad immediately, prompting for my Apple user and password
After typing this info, turned my eyes into the iPad and bingo, the screen appeared ready to use
End of the story
Hope this can be of any help to all users with the same glitch
