1) I have windows view. When running version 3.0.5 of electrum, it gives me errors: in api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll and in python_dll. I downloaded these dll, but the errors continue. Then I said that I have to download the pyqt5 program and its packages, but it's very complicated. It seems to me that version 3.0.5 is too complicated to install. What solutions can I have?
2) Version 2.9.3 I protected it with a password from the beginning. Should I update even if I put a password?
Thanks you so much
1) that is the problem with older versions of windows (like windows 7). you need to install the latest updates. install KB2999226 and it should work.
2) read OP
If Electrum 3.0.5 (or any later version) cannot be installed or does
not work on your computer, stop using Electrum on that computer, and
access your funds from a device that can run Electrum 3.0.5. If you
really need to use an older version of Electrum, for example in order
to access wallet seed, make sure that your computer is offline, and
that no web browser is running on the computer at the same time.
you can always switch to Linux. the simplest way is to download a popular distribution like Ubuntu,
burn it on a DVD (if you don't want to install and have dual boot with windows),
boot from DVD,
download latest Electrum version and verify its signature
enter your seed
make your transaction and when you are done shut it down and everything will go away.
