Yes, backup should be done first!

I agree, but from "fdisk" output I see 4K (advanced format).

Is your drive advanced-formatted?

Of course, it's been reformatted since then, but not when it was

Btw, reformatting is not enough.
To fix alignment one must delete the partition and create a new one.

AFAIK any modern tool (GNU parted, Windows Disk Manager, diskpart) will use
4K alignment by default for any drive.

Very old boot loader installed to the MBR may have problems with booting
(the one that uses CHS instead of LBA), but modern grub should deal with it.

+1.

NTFS support is not very stable in Linux, it is better to avoid it
