In case there is anything of value in the wallet, I want to be careful. Here is my plan – what do you think?:
Before starting step 5, make sure that Bitcoin Core isn't configured to prune your blockchain.
It can be set during the GUI's initial setup or its settings.
Otherwise, it'll have to start all over again after loading the old wallet file.
2. Disconnect all drives from my usual PC (Ryzen 3).
Make sure that the drive that you'll use has enough space to store the whole Bitcoin blockchain and other data (
500GB+).
