This will be my last post hopefully regarding Bitcoin Core.

I have bought a 1TB SSD and downloaded the entire blockchain + synced.

Here's the current situation:

I have this directory (D:\Bitcoin) - 89.8 MB - which contains:
daemon, share, bitcoin.conf, bitcoin-qt.exe COPYING.txt readme.txt and uninstall.exe

I have this directory (D:\BitcoinDownload) - 585 GB - which contains:
blocks, chainstate, DefaultWallet, .lock banlist.json bitcoind.pid
deblug.log, fee_estimates.dat, mempool.dat, peers.dat, settings.json

"DefaultWallet" is just simply what I created after everything downloaded/synced.

I have my own old 2013 wallet.dat I'm trying to open, but first, I thought I'd find an example wallet.dat
and test it out to ensure Bitcoin Core is functioning correctly (i have made multiple .dat backups).

So I browsed the forum and came upon this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242967.0

"- Balance = 362.00495819 BTC. (Main Bitcoin Address: 1Jkn9wg1WbJdASNBPtQqdmm7wtrcSiATbf). Fake "wallet.dat". Download here. Password: "Hunnibear9"."

I've downloaded this file, which is from a trusted user (i'm aware it's fake)
"wallet_fake_008.dat"

And I've placed it within:
‪D:\BitcoinDownload\wallet_fake_008.dat

Now, I'm opening Bitcoin Core (as Administrator)
File > Restore Wallet > D:\BitcoinDownload\wallet_fake_008.dat

It asks for "Wallet Name" and my name is "Fake"

Now following this, all I see is "Restorting Wallet Fake..."

My questions are:
Is what I'm doing fine?
Is there a difference between Restoring and Opening?
What is the usual ETA for Restoring a Wallet?

Hi I have came across a few old wallet.dat files on my PC.

After letting Bitcoin Core sync for 24 hours, the program is now ready.

I have a few questions.

I have pasted the file inside of this directory
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

I then opened BTC core and did the following:
File > Restore Wallet > C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\wallet.dat

It the asked for "Wallet Name" I just entered anything.

After this I had the error:
Wallet loading failed. Wallet files should not be reused across chains. Restart bitcoind with -walletcrosschain to override.

I'm wondering do I simply just add the this (-walletcrosschain) or am I importing the wallet incorrectly?

Any help is appreciated!
