Hello bitcoiners! Grin

I have had a wallet on my computer a while ago(about 6 months ago) and one day my computer decided to make an update. Something went wrong in that update and I had to reinstall windows. Most of my programs had been saved, but I could not find my wallet information. Making a long story short, I have stumbled across my wallet number and have a few mBTC on it which worth about 150$. The wallet is 1LDNLNYjTJT2nixzc7wqHwpc6aP9nNcYBZ . The problem is I cannot access the wallet as I do not remember which platform I have used. (I think the name of the wallet was something close to electrum wallet) I probably would be able to guess my password as I have changed it from default and made my own. (so I can remember). My question is how do I gain the full access to my wallet with the information that I have?

Did you reformat the hd during the reinstallation of windows, or just reinstall the operating system?

I have sent my laptop to my buddy he got it going for me. I do not think he reformat the HD as I had a folder that was stated "old windows" with most of my info on it.

Is there any other way to search for my seed or private keys? Are they stored under a different name file? I do have about 1/3 of the block chain downloaded on my laptop ( from when I wanted to start mining, 6 months ago.) but I really do not want to download the rest 2/3 of it.

You can export the private keys without downloading the blockchain.
In Core: Click help -> 'debug window' -> 'console' tab
If you wallet is encrypted, unlock it by typing walletpassphrase "your wallet password" 600
Type 'dumpwallet privatekeys.txt ' without the single-quotes

There will be a privatekeys.txt file in the wallet folder containing your private keys.
