I can’t setup an iPad from an iCloud backup because I need a newer iOS before I can select any of my available backups. What do I do?

I have personally experienced this. Here is what you want to do, trust me.

  1. Set up as a new iPad
  2. Update the iPad
  3. Erase the iPad
  4. Setup your iPad from the backup
  5. Your data should be there
