If you feel you want to upgrade from LR 5.7, then what you might to trial LR 6/LR CC 2015 to see if thigns work ok on your computer, before you spend any money. The initial install is LR 6.0/LR CC 2015.0 so you will also want to update that to LR 6.7/LR CC 2015.7. If that update doesn’t happen automatically, via Help / Updates, then you can download the installers from here. You only need to install the .0 version then the .7 version, not all the intermediate patches:
