I have followed the steps provided, How can I load up the wallet I have saved? The image below shows the files from bitcoin core. Thank you guys for the help you have provided me with.

You can also rename the wallet.dat file and paste it in that folder,
then in Bitcoin Core, use the menu: "File->Open wallet", select that wallet from the list and it will be loaded.

But no one mentioned but it's important that "prune" setting must be disabled when you started the initial blockchain download or else, you'll have to resync Core after loading the wallet file.
The setting is in: "Settings->Options..->Purine block storage to".
