Hi,

I have an old walleet.dat i think created back in the days of wallet 0.16.0

I downloaded bitcoin core 0.21.0 and waited for it to fully synchronize

I then went to the Bitcoin roaming file and put the wallet.dat in there: when i load the Client it does not see the wallet.

I go to Program Files\Bitcoin <-this is the 64 bits wallet, thre is nothing in the x86 folder

I try: bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan  <- same result, wallet not loaded
I try: bitcoin-qt.exe -wallet wallet.dat <- i get an error dialog box saying format not recognized

What am I doing wrong?
