Appears there is a lot of confusion, probably of what you -really- have in place, and what (and especially where) you are going to connect the new GS748Tv5.
Since you talk of not going to use stacking (impossible since the GS748Tv5 is not stackable at all, does not have stacking ports) some guess is your existing old switch might be a GS748TPS – Stackable Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch with PoE. In case of using the predefined Stacking ports there, these ports must be configured away from Stacking mode to General Ethernet mode to connect the new switch.
Do you operate a single VLAN with a single IP subnet? That means you don't have to configure any tagging for now, too.
That's all I can say based on the obvious incomplete (or probably simply wrong) information provided.
