Update iPad 2 to iOS 10

Can you download ios10 on an ipad2?

Or, is ios 9.3.5 the best we can get?

I can't access the Applestore app (and other apps in the app store) on my ipad because it needs ios 10.

Biggest mistake I made was to reset my kids iPad 2 (like is often suggested to get it all working properly again). Used to have several apps which ran on ios9 but now require ios10 to run. So can no longer install the app.


And as for the comment that expecting a 7yo ipad to run latest apps (and let's be honest here, most apps aren't huge resource drainers - that's the point of an app) is like a 25 yo computer trying to run latest programs, doesn't say much for your opinion of a 7yo iPad. A 7yo computer can still run Windows 10 and Office 2016.


Don't me wrong. I don't hate the iPad. But I do wish I hadn't reset it.
