Changing over to new phone

I am in the UK

I have a S4 (SGH I337) which is grey import to the UK unlocked but with ATT bloat. I have bought a new S5 (SM-G900F) (unlocked to any network) and want to bring my apps and data across but want to avoid any of the ATT rubbish. What is the best way of doing this please?

The reason for upgrading is that I cracked the S4 screen but still usable.

Thanks
 
Don't worry, the sync feature in Google will not transfer any AT&T system bloatware to your S5. Just make sure you sync everything to your Google account on the S4 first. There are other backup methods, (I believe in using more than one method), described in #2.1 of S4 Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide
 
Thanks for your reply and note on ATT

In stumbling around I came across Samsung Smart Switch which seems to be working.

Surprised and pleased to find this morning that it auto updated to Marshmallow. I had to jump through so many fences to get the S4 ATT to update to Lollipop.
