Calibre and my Kobo will not talk to each other - rather childish I know but that's how it is.
Windows should treat your Kobot Touch as an external drive (i.e. like a flash drive or MP3 player)

To sideload using Windows Explorer:

Plug in your Kobo Touch and wait until Windows recognizes the new drive
Open a window with the drive/folder of the book you want to copy
Open a window with the new drive (the Kobo Touch)
Drag and drop the books from your computer to the Kobo Touch.
Safely disconnect your Kobo Touch

The new book(s) should be on your Kobo Touch.
If you put in a microSd card it should open as soon as you connect to your computer as yet another drive letter. I put all my sideloaded books on the microSD card because library books and books bought from Kobo tend to go on the internal memory
