Just got a new iPad and now wish to convert old one to a new user

Hi,

We just got a new iPad Air for my wife and have moved everything from her old iPad to the new one. Now I would like to use the old one for myself and have it sync with my iPhone 6. How do I erase all the old info and have my info move from my iMac / iPhone to the original iPad Air?

Thanks

Jim

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 11.1

1) back up the iPad to iTunes just in case

2) once backed up, open its settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings

3) back up your iPhone via iCloud or iTunes

4) restore your iPhone backup to the iPad (not everything will transfer)
