Whilst you have already marked your post as resolved, this may provide some additional information that you will find to be helpful in transferring your data from an old to new iPad...


These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data:

Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.


An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:
