can i install a Google backup on to a new Samsung?

[walterkurtz]

i backed up my Pixel to Google before selling it. my new Samsung arrived yesterday but i see no option to install a backup from google drive...only from another phone directly or from a computer. on my computer i see the pixel backup in Google drive but no way to download it. any suggestions??

thanks!

Just use the same account you used on the pixel when you go through start menu and ask do you want to use back up from that pixel and choose yes
