This might be a very good opportunity to verify that the backup system you use for your valuable calibre library works as intended. And possibly adapt it to win8.

Just restore a recent backup copy of the calibre library from the old computer to the new computer.

If you don't have a backup system, then you should consider getting one. Perhaps an external hard drive attached via USB? Preferably two for extra safety.
