Thanks for the advice. Should I try and prune the chain on the old wallet and sync the old wallet or should I download directly the new wallet without taking care of which block height on the chain the old wallet has reached? I hope I have explained myself properly...
Sorry, someone else will have to answer this I'm not up on the particulars. You should pm @dEBRUYNE if he doesn't see this question.

Thanks for the help. @dEBRUYNE has helped me out and everything has ben solved. Basically for now I didn't download the new wallet but just moved the blockchain from the laptop's hard drive to an external hard drive and redirected the Blockchain in my wallet towards the external hard drive.
