These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:
Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch â 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 â Apple Support
If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available.
âTransferâ 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:

If one transfer method is causing difficulties, fails to complete, or if data appears to be missing - try using one of the available alternatives.
