Hello Aries54,


We understand that you have questions about transferring information from your previous iPad to your new one, and we'd like to help out.


There are several options to transfer data to a new device, and which one is best for you depends on your preference.


You can find some great information about the different options and methods to transfer data to a new device in the link you came from: Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


"Quick Start occupies both devices, so make sure that you choose a time when you won't need to use your current device for several minutes." More about Quick Start here: Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


For more information on what iCloud and computer backups include, please check out this link: Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Thanks!
