Help with setting up a new Samsung tablet.

My wife's four year old Samsung tablet is acting erratic lately. I'd like to buy a new one, but have no idea how to transfer everything email, apps, etc. contained in her old tablet directly to the new one without paying our repair guy.

Can anyone here walk me through the process, or should I just forget about doing it myself ?

during the set up process they ask if you want to transfer everything, and you click yes (well, I did not want that so I declined)......

Basically, she wants everything from the old tablet imported to the new one.

I'm hoping someone who has actually done the process will chime in
