Do I need to use a Microsoft account as an interim step?

in the old windows phone, did you save your contacts with your email account? You can easily check by going to your email in a browser and then going to the people section - if your contacts were saved in that email, then you can set up your new phone with the same email and your contacts will sync to your new phone
