Well what am I supposed to do wait for these Websites to Update the Bitcoin Codes. lmfao I am such a moron for thinking "Oh a Desktop Wallet like Electrum that everyone raves about being safer than Web Wallet Accounts or whatever your exact terminology for it is but that is OFF-TOPIC! What is ON-TOPIC is I am now stuck with an Electrum Wallet on my Computer with like a lot Money I thought it would be more SAFE but it clearly is not as I can't spend it.

Electrum is both, safer and more secure, than any web wallet out there.



How many Years do I have to wait for these Websites specifically www.blockchain.com Accounts to Accept my darn Bitcoin from my Electrum Wallet which I NEVER EVER SHOULD OF DOWNLOADED! I'm ready cry to here I spent hours and hours and hours of Researching to get nowhere but here.

You don't need to wait at all.

They already accept your BTC, regardless from which address you are sending.
You can send funds from your bech32 address (bc1..) to ANY other address and the other party WILL accept it.



In another Thread or somewhere I read my Seed Key is not going to be able Idk what people were talking about as if I'm not New to Electrum but what is a Root Key and how do I get it since I am planning to get a New Hard-Drive which is the reason I am trying to Send my Bitcoin to another Wallet on a different Computer until my New one is fully working.

You need your mnemonic code (12 words) to restore your wallet. You should have a backup of it already. You were told so when setting up the wallet.
To get your mnemonic code, open electrum -> click on 'wallet" -> click on 'seed'. These 12 words are used to derive all private keys of your wallet file. Make a physical backup.




Can you please describe your problem more precisely ?
You can send your funds to ANY website. What exactly is the problem ?

And please answer my questions. Without answering them i won't be able to help you:


[...]
If you open your wallet, do you see your bc1.. address and the received funds ? Or does it show 0 balance ? Is your wallet synced (green dot at the bottom right corner) ?
You should be able to simply send your funds using your bc1.. wallet. Did you already try that? If so, what didn't work ?
