Hard drive a massive 39GB

Back when I was still running XP on it, I researched (using Windows online tool) if I could run Windows 7. Nope. So not only was I unable to run Windows 8.1 I couldn't even run Windows 7.
Given that you cannot run Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 on that computer, it's time for a new computer. IT sounds like that computer isn't going to run Qt5 and that's needed for the latest Sigil and the latest Calibre.

Because you now run Linux, you will be allowed to install them. But that doesn't mean they will work.
