The BTC is in cyberspace. What you need is the public address and private key(s) used for the wallet. Find the version of Core you were running and look for Wallet.dat. If you have it then fire up Core and get the address & keys from the wallet.
From there IMMEDIATELY xfr the BTC to a new and secure wallet for safe storage & HODL or cash some out through an exchange.
