iPad Date Transfer from Current iPad to New iPad

[Howard54]

I have an 11inch 2018 iPad Pro that I use as my primary day-to-day device. It is beginning to show its age battery-wise and I am adding a 2021 12.9 iPad Pro to get the bigger screen, M1 processor and thunderbolt port. I plan on using both devices going forward for the time being.

How do I transfer the apps and data from the 2018 iPad to the 2021 iPad but still have Apple recognize them as two separate devices? I tried the iCloud restore backup method but it named the new device the same as the old and then I had a problem signing into my OneDrive account since there were two devices with the same name.

Thanks for any help.

You can change the device name via Settings - General - About.
