I would prefer to choose Ubuntu or any open source OS, but if you do the first step successfully, then 2,3,4 steps are correct.in Electrum import the private key with this command: p2pkh:<<private key1>>

Thanks, As much as i do want to use Ubuntu and i could use it, i feel very familiar with windows and its much easier and less of a learning curve just to move funds to HW wallet. allthough i still see a security risk on the offline pc if im throwing in a usb, im gonna try the photo methods for the qr codes and see how it goes once setup.

1 - (offline pc)- fresh install windows, install bitcoin-qt, download blockchain

2 - (online pc) - download and verify electrum, install electrum, setup watch only wallet

Since you downloaded the blockchain already: you can create a transaction from Bitcoin Core, and copy the raw transaction from your offline PC to your online PC for broadcasting. Enable Coin Control in Bitcoin Core, and make sure no change is sent to a new address (if you do, that address may or may not be included in your old backup).

Using Electrum should work too (see my earlier post), but in that case you didn't have to download the full blockchain. Keep track of change amounts: if you don't spend the full amount, make sure you send it back to your own address.

You'll also own Fork coins, but don't do anything with them as long as there's Bitcoin on your addresses.

Thanks, i did read a bit ago how to do the raw transaction, looked like it was all via CLI, but for ease of use i wanted to use electrum, i figure if its easier theres less chance of it going wrong.
And yeah i understand i didnt need to D/L the blockchain haha. i could of just dumped the keys, but since this pc is now going to be offline forever i figured i might as well get the blockchain on there for future use if i wanted it

.
Yeah im moving the BTC first than ill check other coins.
