I use 64 bit Calibre under Win10, though I have Calibre Portable as well.

For stuff in an external SD card, I pop the card from the device, put in in an adapter, and plug it into a USB port on the desktop. It appears as a drive in Windows, and I can tell Calibre Connect to Folder, and select the folder on the card that is the base of the eBook storage hierarchy. I haven't tried to copy 5K of books like that, but I suspect I could without crashing. It would just take a while.
