I think this is part of what what you want to do:
Connect Old device and let it settle: search Ondevice:true
Select all (ctrl-A) and tap 'E" (bulk metadata edit mode): Add Tag: <eg Old XYZ >
Disconnect (eject)
Connect new device: Search tags:Old XYZ: select all: Send to device

This does not create any device collections. Those may be device centric
This assume you have any Templates or Plugboards set your way (those may make your collections)
