Ok would you please tell me how to export the private key to my address?
I really need that which better than to get a drive and install again the program wait syncing ... etc :3
Open up Bitcoin Core, and click Help > debug window.
Open the console tab.
Type
Code:
dumpprivkey
with being the address you received the Bitcoin with.
Copy the string and go to whatever wallet you want and import it there. I recommend using Multibit.

If your wallet has a password, before typing "dumpprivkey", type this:
Code:
walletpassphrase 600
where is the passphrase to unlock your wallet. You will have 600 seconds to complete "dumpprivkey"
After you are done, type
Code:
walletlock
