What do you mean by, "link the new with…"

If you want to set up Time Machine to use that drive, go to Time Machine Settings and click the + button under the list of backup disks. Find your drive and add it to the backup drives. If you don't want to keep using the old one, select it in the backup disk list and click the – button.
