2. Click GA4 Setup Property
After clicking the admin view, you will be routed to the properties of your current universal analytics account. In this transition, there is no need for you to worry about the transfer of data from universal analytics to GA4 since creating the latter on this process will immediately fetch the previous data of the former. In other words, you don’t need to do any manual transfer of data from the old to current version of Google Analytics.
