You can restart the "Quick Start" process by performing this procedure on the new device:--> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

When done, the new iPad lets you start from scratch (as if it were new).

Assuming that you have successfully completed initial setup, but wish to start again, you can easily reset from iPad Settings:

Settings > General > Reset > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content & Settings


After reset, you can begin the entire setup/transfer process again.


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:
