I have a bitcoin application from 2009. I would like to try to get it running again to see what's in it? Any help? I have it saved on windows 7.
It's not the application nor its bitcoin install folder that you need, it's the "
bitcoin" data directory (
folder) that it created in 2009.
That's where the most important file "
wallet.dat" would be.
Check your Win7 PC's %appdata%/roaming/bitcoin folder to check.
If you found a "
wallet.dat" file, make a few copies of it immediately for backup purposes.
Then decide if you want to immediately sync it on an online Bitcoin Core client (
not recommended for that old wallet) or just export its private keys that can be spent "
cold-storage style".
