How Can I Set Up My New Phone From My iCloud?

[jtrean]

i was laid off. Work provided iPhone needs to be turned back in. Went into VZW store and upgraded personal phone to iPhone 7.  Backed up work phone to iCloud.  Set up new phone while work phone being backed up.  How do I transfer and get all backed up content onto new iphone?  At this point, do I need to do a reset and start over? And if so, do I "reset all settings" or "all contents and settings"
