iCloud backup I’ve had use my old phone for the time being but I wanted to restore my iCloud onto the phone. I had to set the iPhone up as a new phone first so that I can update the phone as my backup was on iOS 12 whilst the phone was iOS 10. To restore my backup do I have to wipe the phone again and then set it up again.

You repeat the steps you used to get to "set up as new" and choose an iCloud backup instead.

This means you must erase the device and run the setup assistant again. That's the "hello" screen.
