You already have the computer with Linux installed, so why don't you try running Calibre and Sigil?
They worst thing that can happen is that they will not work and you come back with an error message and ask for help.
Thanks kacir. I am already running Sigil 0.7.2 and the latest version of Calibre and they work great. In fact, everything works great.

You don't have to run Windows 8.1, but if it is compatible, then you can run Qt5 and thus the latest Calibre and Sigil.
Thanks JS. From 39GB to 1TB. All right! Not sure I'm convinced I need a new computer though if everything is working perfectly as is. Including Calibre and Sigil. I saved what you wrote though for when I do decide to get something new.

Thanks. Found sse2 but there were no numbers next to it. I attached it as a screenshot.
