I've installed version 3.0.5 to a new folder on my off-line pc. Created a standard wallet_1 (same name as the one on former installation) and restored it from seed. Then, I've overwritten C:\Users\E8-950\Desktop\electrum_data\wallets\wallet_1 to the same path of the new 3.0.5

I'm not sure why you created a new wallet, restored your wallet from seed... and then overwrote that file with your old one? Huh

To be honest, I am not really familiar with software installations, but insist on doing it myself! I was told by someone else in the forum to reinstall to another folder and to paste my old wallet file to this new installation. No other instructions. And that I could only install another Portable version. While doing it I realized I was missing some essential understanding of the whole process. I've probably misunderstood the instructions!

As regards the on-line pc, I've upgraded to version 3.0.5 as well and created the watch-only installation restoring from PMK. Last, I've overwritten wallet_1 to proper path.

And you've done the same thing here? Created a new wallet... then copied over the old one? Huh

Yes, I did not know if this was correct and I assumed it was.

When I open my new Electrum 3.0.5 installation I can see my history transaction although they are marked 'Not Verified'

Quote from: HCP

On which computer is the wallet showing "not verified"? Is that on your "offline PC"? because that status usually just means that your wallet hasn't "synced up", so it does not know if the transactions have been confirmed or not. Electrum stores your transactions in the wallet file, so if you copied the old wallet file, it would have those transactions, but wouldn't be able to confirm if they were OK or not.

On the watch-only (on-line) one. On the off-line one there is nothing, it is all blank (this is true also referring to the first installation, i.e. on wallet 3.0.2)

If it is on the "online" PC, then it would seem that your wallet is connected properly? Is the dot in the bottom right corner red, green or is it blue arrows?

It's red.

The last question (not necessarily correlated to the above but of some interest to me): Having to do the Electrum upgrade would it be possible to install the Installer version instead of the Portable one and have my btc transferred from one version to the other ? If yes , how can I manage this?

Quote from: HCP

Simply install the installer version, then copy your old wallet file to the wallet storage directory. For "installer" version, you can find the wallet files here: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-my-wallet-file-located

Well, I am going to get rid of that second portable version 3.0.5. I have understood that I have to save/copy my old wallet file (my wallet_1); that I can install the new Installer 3.0.5. and paste my old wallet_1 the proper directory. I do not know what need to be done different on the off-line and on-line pcs. Moreover, as concerns my old wallet I never tried to sign, on the off-line pc, the verified transactions present on the watch-only pc. Does this have something to do with the "synced up you were mentioning above?

Sorry about the mess. I would really need a step by step procedure.

Many thanks
