You're right, the colour space is definitely the problem, but neither of those are right. You must only work in sRGB.
Please ditch stupid Lightroom.

That all sounds fine. I mean, 12GB of RAM is a bit on the low end in these modern times, but it should still run ok as long as you don't keep too many programs open at once; and don't open too many photos at once.
Of course not. If you crop to specific dimensions, that trumps everything. Nothing else is required.
Image size or Fit image are only needed if you haven't cropped at all, or if you've cropped without imposing any dimensions.
Of course you must not do that. The whole point of image processor is to do the saving for you.
No no no. Do you think your lab will change the way they print just because one of their thousands of customers suddenly calibrated? Of course not. Prints are prints. You don't need to get new ones afterwards.
The purpose of calibration is to make your screen match the prints you already have. Not just the good ones either. ALL your prints.
Hooray!
But NOOOOOOOOO!
You can't calibrate unless you have prints with you! You can't wait until after calibration to get prints.
Do you have any prints?
Hi Kim, when I'm looking at the Flash data in exif in Bridge, some say "Did not fire", while others say "Did not fire, compulsory mode".
This seems to be across various cameras.
What does "compulsory mode" mean in terms of flash?
I think it's a DISGUSTING waste of money.
But its specs are good, so if you want it, yes, it should calibrate fine.
Make sure you turn off the stupid light sensor.
