Log Files from the Bitcoin Client: what log files can help?

I need help getting my old bitcoin core files to work. I have been researching and the only guys that have successfully come close are doing it via linux. So here's the problem. Maybe someone has a solution.
Bitcoin core files from Windows Vista
I don't have windows vista.
Last accessed via windows xp and or windows 7
Last year accessed was 2010- 2011 after I was getting help from one of the first Bitcoin devs. Coins weren't showing.
I managed to get it working a few days later unbeknownst to him. 2010-2011 was the last time we had communications.
I know I have Bitcoin block 2 and the corresponding required signature to prove ownership. I could spend from this UTXO set but Id rather not use anything before block 170. Any help is welcome, even criticism for doing it this way.🙏 Thank you all (in advance) for any guidance and help you might you might be able to provide. I would also like it if we can stay on topic. No weird questions about Satoshi or Hal or Adam(who never responded btw). If you have any of those questions please feel free to start a new post in another section and I will try to respond to them.

I'm willing to help you. Send me a message and I can vet myself.
