Never used an Ipad, just been given one for work....

As the title says.....

I am an experienced android user and have never even played with an Ipad so I have one or two questions.....

1. I need an email address but as it's my work tablet I DON'T want any personal stuff on it at all - I use yahoo, gmail and windows as personal addresses already and want a dedicated 'ipad only' email - any suggestions please ?
2. Any tips / pointers to using an Ipad ?
3. It is currently installing ios 11..........
Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.

    If you're using it for work, don't you want to use your work e-mail address?

    They are not that difficult. If you can use Android you can work out how to use an iPad. I would start by tapping things with a finger to see what they do.

    You'll have to wait until it is finished to use it.

    If it's a work iPad, use whatever email account you would normally use at work.

    Tip #1 would probably be to wait until its finished installing iOS 11. If you've managed to get it to do that then you've found and opened the settings which should be enough to get you started to be honest but checking out https://www.imore.com/ipad-users-guide wouldn't hurt.
