Thank you everyone for your help!

I was going through each of your suggestions, finding the transaction information on the blockchain website.  I did download the recent version from the Electrum website and thankfully I kept both versions so it was just a simple case of going back to my older wallet and saving a backup and loading the wallet into the newer version.

I can now see my updated balance in the newer version of the Electrum software.  Seems to be just a simple case of me opening the wallet into the new version which I, embarrassingly, didn't think to do before creating the post.

Appreciate the help! 

Hi There,

I wasn't aware that Electrum was offline for older versions,  I recently wanted to transfer bitcoin to my computer and used the receiving address like I normally do in Electrum.  I then noticed the red circle in the corner where it states I'm offline.  I find out that I need to update to the newer version which I have done.

I notice on the receiving address it is now different from the older version however the older version is offline now.  Is there a way I can get the bitcoin back to the wallet I sent it from or redirect it to the new wallet?

Been buying bitcoin for a couple of years now and I've always been careful with it as I don't really understand how it all works but this caught me off-guard.  Really hope there's an easy solution to this.

Thanks for your time.
