When the service applications are created use the existing database names that reside on SQL2016. In SharePoint Server 2016, build a new temporary farm that includes service applications.

Restore these databases to a new farm's SQL Server in SharePoint Server 2016 (for example, SQL2016). After the site collections have been upgraded, create a backup of all content and service application databases from your old farm (for example, SQL2013). Any database with a 14 version will be locked and prevented from upgrading to SharePoint Server 2016. Next, upgrade all the site collections from 14 mode to 15 mode by using the Upgrade-SPSite cmdlet. Claims authentication is the default mode in SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Server 2019. In SharePoint 2013, if you have any web applications that are in windows authentication mode, you should convert them to claims authentication.
