I installed Bitcoin Core on my laptop and copied ~22GB of bitcoin data from my PC (blocks folder, chainstate folder, wallet.dat ...)
I launched Bitcoin more than 6 hours ago and its still hasn't started. Task Manager shows that its using %60+ CPU and 500-600 MB RAM resources.

Is that normal?

Delete all files and folders inside your roaming/bitcoin folder (except wallet.dat) and start bitcoin-qt wallet, it will automatically resync
