This is good news, right? I've ordered a Ledger Nano.
Looks like you found your riches, good for you!
Now don't go online again with that disk installed. Once your hardware wallet arrives, and after you've made a few safe backups of the word phrases, sign offline, and broadcast the transaction from another system.
After that (don't risk it before securely moving your Bitcoin), don't forget to take a look at Bitcoin Forks). At current values, for 105 coins you're looking at $15k-ish in Forks.
