Hi Steaktip,
Thank you for taking the time to post your question to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're experiencing some issues with restoring an iCloud backup to your new iPhone.
iOS 14.4.2 is a previous version of iOS. The most recent is iOS 14.5. Apple security updates
When you attempt to restore your backup to the new device, are you receiving an error that the backup isn't compatible due to the iOS version? If so, you may need to update your new device before restoring that backup. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
The device will need to be set up as new to update wirelessly. Once you've done that, see how to restore your backup here: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup
