Cant sync iphone to new laptop because of different itunes library

My last laptop broke, I now have a new laptop, but am unable to sync music to my iPhone because it's a different iTunes library. When I click manually manage music, I am prompted with a message stating that I'd have to delete all of the music from my iPhone? I am just wondering if there is a way around this

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1

NO.

This is how it is designed to work. The sync is one way - computer to iPhone/ipod/ipad

You can sync or manually manage with one computer at a time. Syncing or manually managing from another will erase the current content.

All you need to do is copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one, then sync.
