See: Set up a new device from an iCloud backup > iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
Don't worry about iOS version.
I Can't choose any of the backup data choices cause new device is in version 8.3 and says not compatible for transfer 🙂
You'll need to update the new device first to an iOS version equal or greater than the one used to make the backup.
Set the new iPad up as new, and then proceed normally to update iOS. Once the update completes go into Setting->General->Reset->Erase all Content & Settings, and setup the iPad again.
This time you should be able to choose the backup to restore from.
If restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup requires a newer version of iOS - Apple Support
