I believe you can do it 2 different ways..

1) set up your iPhone 12 as a new iPhone and enroll your new iPhone in beta.. get it updated then erase it and start all over.. this time use Quickstart or one of the other methods to transfer content. Of course it's beta so things might not work as well as a public release.. but those are the risks you take when you sign up for beta

2) restore the new iPhone from the backup that you made and archived before enrolling in beta software (assuming you did this as it's step #1 in the suggested procedure)
