Same exact situation over here for me. I plugged in my iPad Pro 9.7 into iTunes, and it said it failed to restore.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases iOS 10 With Redesigned Lock Screen, New Messages Features, Third-Party Siri, and More

In our geeky office, three of us decided to be adventurous and upgrade to iOS10 this morning.
The result... Bricked. All three! (Well, temporarily, it looks recoverable). Obviously we have something in common that is incompatible with iOS10.
We're busy recovering our phones now. There goes this morning's productivity.

Figure I'll wait until I get home and do it all through iTunes. Only three more hours anyway. Then the servers may not be as pounded, either.
Unfortunately, there is no stopping (no would I try to, since there may be a process in place). You can recover from it, so you should be ok afterwards.
NOTES
What's happening?
The OTA update version might be corrupt. The update will download completely, verify prior to install, go into the Apple update screen, then crash into the "Plug into iTunes" screen. The update bar went as far as about 75% - 80%.
Who is affected?
So far, only iPad Pros, iPhone 6S / S+ and iPhone SEs have complained of corrupt installs. All of those who have complained used OTA updates, so it may affect more.
What do I do?
1.) DO NOT USE OTA UPDATES - it's the most common culprit in the bunch. Avoid it like the plague.
2.) IF YOU ARE UPDATING, USE USB + iTUNES. Those who have been successful have used the iTunes download. Slower, but working.
3.) IF YOU ARE BRICKED - Plug into iTunes and use "Update" to clear out your problem. You don't need to do a full restore, thankfully. I've done a simple update and everything worked swimmingly.
Should be common knowledge to all Apple i users anyhow.
FYI, I did this and the Update after plugging in to iTunes failed. I hope it works for most people but at this point it seems that it is not guaranteed to work.
OK they have 10.0.1 out. You guys can update now.
Wow, perhaps you should read the release notes pages or look through your device a bit more for those "changes" you dont see.
Can anyone tell me if Netflix Picture in Picture is working on Official release of IOS 10 on iPad Pro 12.9
This happens every time. Nothing new sadly.
Apple simply can't cope with mass roll-outs - software or hardware.
I am RIGHT and you WRONG...nanananananananana!!!! Semantics, my phone quite working after the update.
I have another 90min before iTunes finishes downloading 9.3.5 to see if I can downgrade it to see if it works.
Did you get an error telling you update failed? Check your downloads in iTunes - I got the same error but it was downloading the update. Once it downloaded, then I tried again and it worked and successfully updated my iPhone 6s+.
Apple need to show more courage when it comes to releasing workable updates.
I KNEW IT!
Y'all know better than that!
iOS 10.0.2!
You KNOW not to update until then!
