You were right, I generated new address without BIP39 and the BCH appeared . Thank you thank you. 

To what address can I tip you?

Hello,

Am not able to retreive the BCH. Here are the steps I took in case someone can help:

Moved all BTC from electrum wallet (A) into a newly created electrum wallet (B).
Installed electron cash and created a Standard wallet using the seed of old electrum wallet A by choosing 'I already have a seed'
I entered the electrum wallet A passphrase into electron cash
I choose Options and then BIP39seed and pressed OK
Derivation: I modified it to m/0
and 0 BCH appear in the electron cash wallet.

I then did it again exactly the same and left the Derivation to the one that is by default, which is m/44'/145'/0',
and 0 BCH appear again in the electron cash wallet.

I have not chosen the 'Use public or private keys' option in electron cash. Should I choose that instead? And if so, is it still ok to extract and use the private keys of old electrum wallet A that is now empty?

What am I doing incorrectly?

Thank you.

Hello, newbie here.

I wish to update the software as the version 1.9.5 takes a long time to syncronize when booting up. Can I leave the old version open while installing and moving the wallet to the new version of Electrum?

Thanks
