Time machine has created a new sparse bundle

I have booted my new Macbook from my time machine back up. Time machine has created a new sparse bundle and I cannot access the previous backups. Is there any way to make time machine to use the previous sparse bundle? Thanks, Karl

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Use the old backups to continue backups or use them for migration etc..

If you have a new Mac then continuing to use the same backup is not recommended..

Info you can see here..

I do not think it is good idea.. however you can access the old backup to get files if you need them.

See Q17 here.
