the old phone isn't a galaxy, it's a Nord one

Have you signed in with your gmail a/c in PlayStore yet?

There are lots of little shops on high streets which may be able to sort you out .

I used the Smart Switch app to copy data from my old Galaxy to my new Galaxy. Worked pretty well. You only had to have the two phones in close proximity and configure so they could 'see' each other. Not sure, but I think it might work with any two android phones

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I’ve just got a new android (different manufacturer to my old one)……transfer of everything was incredibly simple via google (USB C cable to cable but can also be via Bluetooth/wifi). If the old screen operates even if not visible (?) I think from memory you need to do nothing more than unlock the old phone. All the commands and options are executed on the receiving phone.

Switch to a new Android device - Android Help

You can move your data to a new Android device from another kind of device, or start afresh with your new Android device. Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 10 and up.

I had this prob after my phone was driven over and I couldn't input my code to transfer pics etc to pc. I took it to a shop in Baker Street, they are really good. They say how much it will cost & don't charge anything if they can't fix it, transferred all my pics and vids to a usb stick. One of my phones became a mission for them to try and fix, it was in there for 2 weeks. They didn't charge me a penny.

problem is you need to be logged into the old device with the pin code first
