Some of these things will apply to your situation even though you are not changing your Apple IDWhat to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

 

 Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.
