Hi Kperezrojas,


We'd love to help out. You can set it up as new, but to restore it from a backup or use Quick Start to transfer your data when you are ready, you would need to erase the device and restore it to new. Check out the below links for the steps. Keep in mind that if you sign into the device with your Apple ID and use iCloud, the things stored there would upload. Also, if you back up the new device in iCloud while signed in to the same Apple ID, it will update to that iCloud backup and you could lose the data from your previous backup.

  2. Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
