Own iPad 3. Can I uptade the iPad to the last version of ios 7 not the new one that is ios 8?

[iMore Question]

Hey.

I hope someone can help me !

I have heard and read that many have problems when they updated their old iPad to ios 8 and don't want to take a risk..... I know one can't go back to the old system if they have problems...

I own iPad 3. Can I update the system to the last version of ios 7...?

There was written in some artilce I read on the internet that I could if I jailbreak my iPad... I don't want to jailbreak my iPad. :/

There are many apps I would like to download, that say I need to have for exsample at least ios 7.1. :/
As it is now I can't download them...

Thanks for taking time to read this and thanks for your help !!!

The 3rd Gen iPad will be fine on iOS8. You can't go back...
