Once done, disconnect the device from iTunes and continue usng it as usual.

It is important to note that if you have enabled two-factor authentication or Touch ID on any of your accounts then these settings will not be transferred with this method and you will need to reset them manually on the new device. Additionally, if you had any third-party applications installed on the old device then their data may not transfer over with this method depending on whether they support iCloud synchronization or not.
