Hi

So I have an old iPad 2 still on 5.0.x

I would be fine using it except I'm stuck on some really old apps. Like my Spotify is really old and does not even have a Browse or Discover function.

Can I upgrade my iPad to something a little newer but not 8.4? I can only imagine 8.4 must run like crap on the outdated iPad 2.

Thanks

Also once upgraded is it possible to downgrade?

I'm using 8.4 on my iPad 2. It runs pretty good. I can't compare to how it used to run on iOS 5. Been too long for me. I don't use my iPad as a daily driver so I'm good with its performance on 8.4.
