The problem is that on my balance it says "Synchronizing..." and i found out that this may be because i havent updated. And to update i need to download over again, which means i would need my seeds to recover my account, in my understanding. I cant remember writing down this seed anywhere when i created my wallet, and its greyed out in "Wallet" section. So how would this work when updating Electrum? How can i make sure i wont lose my account and $$? Can i use something else than seed to do this?

I heard something about Private Keys, which i have the option to Export. Will this be my alternative to seed? Can i use this to get to my wallet when i download latest Electrum?

Ok thanks for information on thread placement.

I have version 3.1.2. and its been synchronizing for a while now. Maybe an hour, so it seems like an update is critical. 

What happens when i click Export on Private Keys? Can i use this to get my BTC when i update Electrum?
