iPad won't update to iOS 10

My iPad will not recognize iOS 10. I have updated both my iPhones (6's) successfully and easily. However, when I click "Check for Updates" on my iPad, I get a message that version 9.3.5 is the "current version." It does not produce an error message. It is an iPad 3. I've never had problems updating before. I recently did a restore from backup because it refused to play video on one of my apps. The restore fixed that problem, but did not affect my inability to update the iOS. I have tried installing wirelessly and wired to iTunes on two different computers. It still says 9.3.5 is the latest version. I have shut down and restarted the iPad several times. No luck. I've tried on several different networks. No luck.

iPad, iOS 9.3.5

It is Capitalism... here is my beef.. If you cant upgrade to 10.0 because no support is available. Then why doesnt apple allow for legacy apps to be installed.

Example. I had to format my old ipad mini because i wanted to pass it down to my Daughter. Now pandora or other apps will not install because it requires IOS 10.0. Why cant i have an option to install a previous version of any app?


This isnt right!
