1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Cant send coins. worried if I upgrade I'll lose my wallet. on: November 10, 2019, 11:17:00 PM

So, I've got an old bitcoin thing on my PC.
But the PC is bluescreening and about to die, so I wanted to transfer off the coins because they are worth something.
I setup a new wallet on a different PC and tried transferring 0.01 to test it was working and it didn't.
So I read on on fees. fees didn't really exist before I don't think. you could just transfer.
But the client said the minimum fee was 0.01 which sounds like a lot, so I sent 1.00 with a 0.01 fee.

Anyway both are "gone" from my wallet. But are 0/unconfirmed haven't arrived at the destination either.

I don't think I have any credentials to recover this wallet. I don't even know what I'd need.
But I can't transfer its coins either.

So maybe a software update fixes this? But if I do that will it lose my wallet? how will it connect to it? will i need to know keys and passwords and things? Cos I doubt I do. It was 8 years ago.

Can I safely update the software without loosing the wallet, and without needing to know secret keys and passwords?
Or is there another way to get confirmations?
