Old itunes account transfer to new iphone from computer

I am on a pc computer. I purchased an account years ago for itunes using my email address at that time. When I just bought my new iphone 14 pro, I had to create a new id and password because at the store I couldn't remember my old one. On my computer i have billions of songs and albums I have purchased. How do I move them to my new phone?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Check your Apple ID via your email box, see this Apple article: If you forgot your Apple ID

OR see -> Having trouble signing in?

If you have deleted it, it is no longer valid, it simply no longer exists and it no longer works.

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.


Try to retrieve your old Apple ID account, see point 1.
