Looking for some help on this. I have an older version of Electrum (2.8.3). Will updated to the newer version version cause me to risk losing my keys in any way? If not, I should be able to update Electrum and then follow the guide posted above, correct?
Well I think as long as you backed up your key you are safe to update your wallet since it will only be asked in order for you to use the newer version just be sure that you backed it up correctly and always save it two or more times to be more secure and safe.
