However, I brougth this thing called "wormhole" and it lets you share data between computers. So, Can I just take the old calibre library and move it to the new computer via this way? Then when I install Calibre on the new computer will everything look the same?
Please help me. I'm very new about this type of thing.
Thank you so much for your help.

Wormhole?
If both are on the same network, just COPY the Library Folder over (for free).
The FAQ also has a tip on how to do the configurarion folder.
BUT WAIT there is more
Very Recent Calibre builtin a tool to backup and restore Libraries and settings
So if the old computer is running Release: 2.47 [21 Dec, 2015] or later it is easy-peasy
Click on the Library icon. it will be the item just above the line (and yes, you should be able to run this with the destination on a TEMP folder. Then run the tool (import mode) on the new computer
