Use What to do after you change your Apple ID or Password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071to. keep other things from going wrong.


You'll have to use whatever Apple ID you entered when you set your new phone up. But, of course, you can change your Apple ID. But, you can't change it to you iCloud Apple ID because that would amount to combining Apple ID accouts--which you can't do.

And, again, use What to do after you change your Apple ID or  Password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071 (supplementary to what the fist link says)

You also could create new Apple ID, but doing so also creates problems. So, unless you post back saying you are interested in this option, then I won't provide instructions..
