You aren’t telling us what the problem is.


If you are trying to restore the backup from your old phone and the old phone was running a newer version of iOS than the iPhone 11, you will have to update the iOS software on the iPhone 11 first. You cannot restore the backup from a newer iOS version to a device running an older version. The target device must be running an equal or newer version of the software.


If you are trying to update the software on the iPhone 11 and you are having a problem, you have to explain what it is if you want help.


In the meantime, you can look at these for some help. This is an Apple support article.
