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

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


If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available.


“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:

How to back up your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch – Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


When you are ready, the best procedure for preparing you old device for disposal or reuse can be found here:

Most Mail services (such as IMAP) store your email on the Mail Server. If POP3, then mail may be saved in a backup.


Installed Apps are not directly transferred between devices. Instead a record of Apps installed on a device is transferred - allowing a fresh copy of Apps, if still available in the App Store, to be automatically downloaded/installed on the new device.
