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:

Three ways:

  1. When initially setting up iPad it will ask you if you want to transfer from another device. You can say yes and it will display compatible devices
  2. You can backup your old iPad to iCloud and restore the new iPad from that backup
  3. You can backup old iPad to a computer and restore new iPad from that backup

Back up iPad - Apple Support

Restore your iPad from the backup


I would select option #3 since it is fastest.
