Hi today just trying to use my electrum wallet after a long time. Just i need to use segwit address instead of old address. could anybody help how to get segwit address for electrum wallet?

Thanks in advance

you'll need to upgrade to a newer version (version 3.0 or higher for segwit bech32 support). then you can create a new wallet---choose a segwit wallet rather than a "standard" wallet.

be careful to download from the correct source and verify signatures.

if you haven't used electrum in a long time, you should upgrade right away anyway. there has been at least one serious vulnerability found in the last year.
