how to keep photos from transferring to new X?

[Smtevo]

I have about 5000 pictures currently on my 6s and the cloud. When I set up my new X how do I make sure 0 of those photos go to the new X but stay on the cloud?

On the new phone don't turn on iCloud photo library, set up as new and turn off iCloud photo library.

On the new phone don't turn on iCloud photo library, set up as new and turn off iCloud photo library.

That's not really a solution is it?

I have the same question and as far as I know there's no workaround (without sacrificing the icloud library function)
