Hello,

I am receiving a iPhone SE 2020 on Monday. Currently I am running IOS 14 PB5 on my daily driver iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Everything is backed up in iCloud.

What is the procedure to "restore" my iPhone 11 Pro Max Data with IOS 14 PB5 to the new SE?
Just "Restore from iCloud" when setting up the new phone? Will IOS 14 PB 5 be installed/restored, too, even though it is preinstalled with iOS 13? Or do I need to set it up as a new phone, then connect my Apple ID, download the Public Beta profile, install PB 5, and THEN restore from my iCloud backup? Or is there even another procedure?

Thank you for your help!
 
Yes, set up the phone as new. Install the iOS 14 beta. Then, restore the iPhone again but now with the iCloud Backup.

I just had a problem with my iPhone this morning, so I had to put it in Recovery Mode, I restore it to iOS 13.6 and I do all this process to reinstall my iOS 14 backup.
