Hello.  I have learned a bit about crypto currency over the last few years and have become a bit of an enthusiast.  Something I keep wondering though is if I can recover my old wallet from years ago.  Well back before the various bips were passed.  Almost back as far as when bitcoin launched.

I'm wondering what's involved and or if the old wallets are even accessible anymore.  It was the original wallet version from the first year of bitcoins launch.  Seed phrase and then the other password and so on.  Is there an FAQ or other documentation that I could read that covers the various upgrades that might further compound the complexities of recovering the wallet?  Wondering what's involved assuming it's possible.  I imagine there have been many upgrade forks that I'm not aware of.

I didn't mine it for a long time but dabbled with it.  I wonder that I can retrieve and restore the wallet.

Thank you for your time.
