If you own an old iPad and want to update it to the latest version of iPadOS, you might face some issues. Apple doesn’t provide updates for all its devices, and some of the older iPads are not compatible with the latest iPadOS 15. But don’t worry, you can still update your iPad to the latest version with a little workaround. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of updating your old iPad to iPadOS 15.

Firstly, open your Safari browser and type “Apple Beta” or “Beta Apple” on the URL bar. You’ll see the Apple Beta Software Program on the search result page. Go to the Apple Beta Program and sign in with your Apple ID. If you don’t have an Apple ID, click on “Sign Up” and create a new Apple ID to join the program.

Next, click on “Enroll Your Device” on the top menu, then select the “iPadOS” tab menu. Scroll down and click on “Download Profile” on the iPadOS session. After the download is complete, you’ll be redirected to Settings to install the profile for iOS 15.

It’s important to note that the profile you’re downloading is safe and directly from Apple. Click on “Install” and restart your iPad. Wait until the iPad reboots, and then log back in to your iPad. Go to “Settings,” select “Software Update,” and please wait until iPadOS is available to install on your old iPad.

Sometimes, Apple servers can be busy, and it may take some time for iPadOS to download and install on your iPad. In that case, you can restart your iPad again and try opening Software Update. Once iPadOS is installed, you’ll be able to enjoy all the new features of the latest iPadOS version on your old iPad.

In conclusion, updating an old iPad to iPadOS 15 is possible, and you don’t have to buy a new one to enjoy the new features. Just follow our step-by-step guide above, and you’ll be able to update your old iPad to the latest version of iPadOS.
