Is there a place to download older versions so I can manually install it?

I found a thing called Kepubify which works. I can convert them and just drag them over to the Glo without Calibre, but it's not so good with a series. It keeps them in order, but only by adding the book number before the title. Of course the only way I got the Kobo to have the series number was to add them to the Kobo, unplug it, let it find the books, plug the Kobo back in, add them again with Calibre, unplug it, and let it find them again.

Now I remember why my first and last Kobo erader was in a drawer.
Is there any reason you cannot update your Windows to Windows 10 64-Bit? What you have is one of the problems with running Window 7. It's obsolete and will not run some updated software such as calibre. So when you need newer software you msy be well and truly screwed. So go update to Windows 10 64-bit and then you can run the latest calibre.
