Migrating from 6P to (non 8.0) phone?

I'm moving to a Oneplus 5T, the Pixel was just out of budget, and didn't really have the "oomph", even if it was, for me, to pay almost double (for a 128).

Anyway, I'm a bit stuck, I'd really like to migrate my settings and apps over, but I can't get the standard "Setup Nearby Device" to work, or do anything.
It actually completes, if I run it at initial startup of the 5T, but then it doesn't actually transfer anything, at least anything I've found yet.

If I try to run it post-setup, it the two devices won't talk, probably because the 5T is running 7.1 and the 6P - 8.0.

Surely Google thought about this, am I missing something obvious?
I'm 100% on-board with deprecating old stuff that's not useful, but it seems like they should have accounted for 7-8 interchangeability, at least the basics?

TIA, hopefully someone's got some "good news" :confused:
