Hi all i have recently upgraded to 0.13.0 and have read a little about the HD feature.  although i did upgrade from the last version and have bitcoin in the wallet now.  i read that i need to remove the wallet.dat and then restart or something, wasnt to sure and didnt want to risk it with out asking the brain boov's. what do i then do with the old wallet.dat,  any help appreciated

Do NOT mess around with your wallet unless you are absolutely certain about the following 2 things:

  • You have recently securely stored 1 or more good backups of the wallet in a way that you can recover it if anything goes wrong
  • You understand exactly what steps you need to take, and aren't making guesses or misunderstanding something you've been told
