You've opened similar topics in 2013 and in 2019.
Do you mind sharing what you've tried so far? If this address is still yours I'd say buy a hardware wallet for long term storage.

trying to get this all sorted this weekend.

Don't rush things now, make sure you know and fully understand what you're doing before doing anything.

Just in case: make another backup of your wallet.dat on another USB stick before doing anything else.

thanks for reaching out .. yes, I am still in control of that address, I think. I looked at the 2019 thread I started, and that is where I got the "guide" from .. and as I started reading through it, It mentioned that I need somewhat to move the coins to , IE like a new current address - and that is probably true. that is why I was asking , I made it that far, and realized, that even if I have access to the old address/data or what ever I need, I am really not prepared on what to do at that point.

I so far have found a few wallet.dat files on the old ( air gapped ) computer. There is a BTC program on it, seems to "run" , but when I go to open it, it appears to open "off the screen" and even trying to "cascade windows" doesn't seem to bring it back. might try hooking up second monitor.

I would be happy I think putting the needed information to access accounts on USB sticks, and using that as the method of storage. Maybe. I don't even know what that data is .

The over arching goal is to take the BTC that was "moth balled" in my basement on a old computer that might not boot up again, on an old set of RAID drives ( that are already saying they are in "degraded" state) and making it a "current , accessible account. Something that I am not worried will just "stop working".

Does that make sense?

With respect, again, thank you for your help.
