ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS backup your wallet directory when switching (upgrading) client software to a new version.

Also, once you have created addresses in your wallet or added new addresses to the wallet,
take the time to get the private keys for the addresses,
or use the dumpwallet function to export all your address information including the privatekeys to a file.

In the QT wallet, tools, Debug Console;
dumpwallet "filename"
or
dumpprivkey "silkaddress"

If using the daemon;
silk-cli dumpwallet "filename"
or
silk-cli dumpprivkey "silkaddress"

where:
"filename" is the name of your choice as you wish to remember it
Example: dumpwallet mySilkwallet will save the wallet to a file named mySilkwallet in the same folder where the wallet client is
Move it from there to a safe location. Very important

"silkaddress" is one of your wallet addresses

If you enabled Coin Control on your wallet then go to Send label, click Inputs
Click right on any address that has a value bigger than 0, copy address to clipboard
then in Tools menu click Debug Console and enter dumpprivkey and paste the address from clipboard
Example: dumpprivkey SS...oneofyoursilkaddresses
you should get a long key
select it and copy that, then paste it in a file that you keep safe
get back to Inputs and do it again for all the addresses that have values
Keep them safe and hope you never need to use them
