I had the same issue when I got my iPhone XS in January 2019 when I upgraded from my iPhone 7. What you can do is just go through the setup process on iPhone XS without entering any of your information and update the phone like you normally would to iOS 13.6. After that's done go to the erase and restore option in settings and it'll get you back to the initial set up screen where you can transfer all your data from your iPhone 7 over.
