iOS 11 requires iPad mini 2 or later.

You can only update to iOS 11 with these iPads:

• 12.9-inch iPad Pro
  2nd generation
• 12.9-inch iPad Pro
  1st generation
• 10.5-inch iPad Pro
• 9.7-inch iPad Pro
• iPad Air 2
• iPad Air
• iPad
  5th generation
• iPad mini 4
• iPad mini 3
• iPad mini 2

The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from upgrading to iOS 10 and iOS 11.

They all share similar hardware architectures and a less powerful 1.0 Ghz CPU that Apple has deemed insufficiently powerful enough to even run the basic, barebones features of iOS 10.

Why would you want to upgrade, anyways?

Since iOS 8, older iPad models such as the iPad 2, 3, 4 and the original iPad Mini have only been getting the most basic of iOS features.

Older iPad users get none of the newest and coolest cutting edge features that newer model iDevices, with better hardware specs, can handle with more aplomb.

FYI,

Just because your 1st gen iPad Mini is no longer able to upgrade to the latest iOS doesn't mean your 1st gen iPad Mini is suddenly useless.

So, your options are really keep using your 1st gen iPad Mini or purchase a new iPad if you feel you need or want to.

Your current 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and continue to receive app updates until sometime this Fall 2017, when, with the introduction of iOS 11,  ALL support for older 32 bit iDevices and any iOS 32 bit apps will come to a final end.

Your 1st gen iPad Mini is a 32-bit iDevice!

Your 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and function as it always has, but will no longer receive any more app updates after the Fall of 2017.

The 1st gen iPad Mini has had 4-5 years of iOS upgrades/updates

The final app updates your 1st gen iPad Mini will receive will be its last!

This is why Apple introduced the new, lower cost 2017 iPad 5 model, in April

Apple is trying to get older iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen Mini iPad users to upgrade to more modern iPad hardware in anticipation and recent introduction of iOS 11, which will render all older 32 bit iDevices obsolete.

Good Luck to You!

BTW,

Why do you need to upgrade to iOS 10 or 11?

My iPad 2 and 3 models are still receiving app updates, currently.

Your 1st gen iPad Mini should still be receiving app updates, too!

App updates WILL end soon, though.
