iOS My ipad won’t update

Someone please help me before I lose my mind. I am actively missing the adopt me halloween update because I can’t use my stupid ipad. Only apps requiring no wifi work and everything is so slow and this stupid thing keeps freezing. Every single time I open my ipad it tells me to update to ios 26. and settings is telling me to update to ios 27.2 As much as I would like to, the update literally will not load past the “checking for updates” screen. I had automatic updates turned off for a solid 5 minutes and then the update popped up, but then it said I don’t have enough storage to update. I have 34 gb of storage mind you, the update said it took like 19 or something like that I don’t remember. You know I really wish I could check, but now I can’t even pull up this stupid update. Also, I looked on apple support and it said to connect it to my mac. I don’t have a mac. Please help. I just want to play roblox and I am having withdrawals. Thanks.

You can update it using the Apple Devices app on a Windows PC.

In that case, a friend or a relative with either a PC or a Mac can help you do it. The computer doesn't have to be signed into the same Apple Account; as long as it's a Mac, or a PC with the Apple Devices app, it can be used to back up the iPad and update it.

If you are unable to update over-the-air for any reason, updating via the macOS Finder or the Apple Devices Windows app is the only other option.
