To restart the setup process from scratch, you will need to fully reset the iPad from iPad settings:

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


The iPad will reset and automatically restart - after which, you can begin the setup/transfer process once again…


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