After waiting for the available updates for the current iPad to be detected, follow the prompts to download the updates and upgrade, and that's it.
Manually update the firmware

For wireless updates, of course it is still possible to use the second method above, but the speed is slower. After the firmware is downloaded, it is still in the summary interface of the iPad. If it is a Windows system, please hold down the Shift key. If it is an Apple system, please hold down the Option key first, and then click the "Check for Updates" button. Then in the firmware selection window that pops up, select the firmware we downloaded from the Internet before.
