Step 1 – Connect the original iPad to your PC/Mac

Step 2 – Launch iTunes if it didn’t open automatically.

Step 4 – Unplug your original iPad.

Step 5 – Connect the new iPad aka iPad 2.

Step 6 – Register your iPad if required.

Step 7 – You will be asked to set up iPad 2 as a new one or restore from a backup. Clearly, the latter option is what you should go for.

Step 8 – Select most recent backup, the one which you took in Step 3.

Step 9 – Let the iTunes restore the latest backup on your iDevice. Once the restore is completed, your iPad will reboot.

Step 10 – When the iPad 2 restarts, iTunes will re-sync the iDevice and install any and every apps and games you had on the original iPad.

Step 11 – Voila, you just brought all of your valuable iPad data to the new iPad.
