When I try to input the private key on Electrum the next button doesn't work. It stays grey and can't select it. Could I be doing something wrong? Do I copy the whole private key?
Sorry for not getting back to you promptly on the other thread - volunteer support and all that.
For Electrum you need to input the line that starts with PrivBase58 with no spaces (and don't include "PrivBase58:" itself).
Armory has an option to "Omit spaces in key data" which will make that easier.
Ideally just the one line that corresponds to the receive address you used.

If that works, Electrum should display your address and balance quickly after.

No problem! I was able to transfer to my Electrum wallet! Thank you very much you were of so much help! I was so worried that I had lost the money. If there is anything I can do or if you want a tip I would be glad to transfer you some.

I'm trying to import the private keys from my Armory wallet into Electrum but when I select the "import bitcoin adresses or private keys" option and enter my private key the "next" button doesn't work. It stays grey and is can't be clicked. I already tried deleting and redownloading Electrum. Is there anything I could do?

Open electrum, click on new wallet> standard wallet> i have seed> put the armory seed> click options, tick bip39> click next and the coins should show up.

Alternatively, you could try this: open armory, click on Wallet Properties or double click on your wallet to open your Wallet Properties, then click Backup this wallet>See other backup options>Export Key Lists then click the button Export Key Lists. Enter your passphrase and Armory will show your wallet's list of public addresses and private keys. If you are --offline or didn't download the blockchain, the list may be empty, but checking "include unused" will allow you to see the entire list

After that, then go back to electrum, click on new wallet> standard wallet> import private key> input the private key and click next. the coins should show up

How to send my bitcoins to another wallet?

So I purchased bitcoins through the exchange and downloaded Armory without knowing I had to download Bitcoin Core for Armory to connect to the blockchain. I generated the adress and sent the bitcoins to Armory. I later learned that Armory was offline and I had to download Bitcoin Core (so I did) and when it came to downloading the blockchain it took around 20 hours and it still had a long way to go so I gave up on that. I have an Electrum wallet and I want to send the bitcoins there. I already verified the transaction went through on blockchair.com and I have the seed for my Armory wallet's backup. How can I transfer my bitcoins to my Electrum wallet if my Armory wallet is offline?

Oh man It would be great if I can just send the bitcoin to another wallet! It's been synching for about 20 hours. I'm trying to download Electrum but it says that my computer needs "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll". What other wallet could I use?
Going on that error, I think you need KB2999226 installed for Electrum to run.
If we're going down the export/import route, can you tell me whether the address you sent the bitcoins to starts with a 1 or whether it starts with a 3?
It starts with a 1
I was able to get Electrum going.

Thank you! It's such a relief to know that I didn't loose anything. Well right now I still have 416 GB of space left. It says that it is 4 years behind and it should take around 5 days to complete synchronizing. How is it that I check my balance in Blockchair? Do I select bitcoin explorer?
Great - that'll be enough space at least.
As bob123 has mentioned above, you really just need to copy the address (that you sent the bitcoins to) into the search box on the explorer.
Once Bitcoin Core is up to date Armory will then need to process the data, which will take some time - not as long, but not fast either.

Again, as bob123 mentioned there are other, lightweight, wallets that don't require the entire bitcoin blockchain to be downloaded - there are pros and cons to either option but while Armory is excellent it is perhaps not the best choice for newbies and it can be finicky to get working for those unfamiliar with it.
Unless you chose a P2SH-P2PK address we can get your coins into another wallet reasonably easily. Up to you to decide, really.

So I am fairly new to the cryptocurrency world and I wanted to make a payment with bitcoin. I purchased the bitcoins through the exchange and I then downloaded Armory to send my bitcoins to my wallet. I created the wallet and sent the bitcoins. After a couple of minutes of not seeing my balance change I tried closing and opening Armory and a message would come up saying "failed to spawn the DB". So after reading through forums I found out that I my wallet was offline and I needed to download Bitcoin Core. I downloaded Bitcoin Core and for the last couple of hours it's been synchronizing and that it still needs to synch for another year and 46 weeks. I am afraid that I may have lost my bitcoins or that I fucked up. Could someone explain what is going on and if I lost my bitcoins? Thank you!
First up, they're not lost - don't worry. Keep your Armory wallet files safe - keep your password for that and the seed words (paper backup) safe too. You can check the wallet address's balance on a blockchain explorer like blockchair.
1 year and 46 weeks to sync? Are you sure Bitcoin Core isn't saying it is a year and 46 weeks behind? Is your internet slow?
Do you have 190GB of free disk space? You'll need it for the full download of the Bitcoin blockchain.
Don't panic if the answers to these questions aren't great, just let us know and we can provide some advice on how you should proceed.

While you're waiting, make sure you have Armory 0.96.4
