Wordpress wants to install itself again - I changed my nameservers

I changed my host from Bluehost to A2, the website is not old enough to transfer over entirely. So, I moved my FTPs, then changed my nameservers on bluehost to the A2Hosting ones. When I enter my website, it brings me to a WP install page - and obviously, the site has had wordpress installed for about a month.

Is this part of the propagation process, and will restore itself? Or is that something I did?

Hello,

Thank you for your question regarding WordPress trying to install itself again. WordPress could be having trouble connecting to its database or otherwise believes it is a fresh installation. It seems more likely to be an issue with the files that were transferred rather than propagation, but it's difficult to be sure. Is the page showing the language selection or database connection fields?

Best,
