Old thread I know but really, you won't lose your wallet.  As long as you kept the "seed", the 13 words (which you should keep on paper someplace safe) it will be recreated.  Make a new wallet where you need to and enter the seed words in the right order.  You'll get a clone of the original, complete with addresses.  You can even have the same wallet on multiple computers if that makes you feel safer.  Everything that makes your wallet what it is comes right back when your seed gets looked up somewhere online.  Even years later.

But it also means that if anyone else were to get them they could impersonate you and steal your balance so keep them private and don't put them anywhere online.
