ah i see, thanks for the help guys I guess I gotta be patient haha

Hey my wallet was taking too long to sync so I uninstalled, deleted folder w/ all the data, reinstalled, opened bitcoin core to create the folder again and then downloaded bootstrap.dat. I closed the program and put this file in AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
when I open it it still tries to sync and it's going to take a long time. What am I doing wrong?
