Bitcoin Core Wallet Address changed no BTC value? Need help

Hey guys, new to the forum and using BTC.

I downloaded Bitcoin Core for my windows 10 desktop on 12/08/2018 around 10 AM for the first time. I was given a wallet address that I backed up with the verification phrase.

Now I opened Bitcoin core again later last night 12/08/2018 around 10 PM and synchronizing started. It has been snching for 16 hours now. I had to enabled pruning since I don't have enough disk space.

My BTC wallet address is changed, it does not match from the first time, at least when I go to receive to see the wallet address.

so I checked /%APPDATA%/roaming/bitcoin/debug   and my wallet address is not stated in here either.

I may be freaking out for no reason, can someone inform me where my old wallet went to, I sent BTC to this address is why I ask.

I can see wallet.dat yet seeing a new BTC wallet address it might be the new one, not the one with BTC.

So I have the BTC address and recovery phrase for the wallet I need. If sync finishes should I see my BTC balance or have I lost my BTC?
