Awesome, it worked!!
I've been putting this off for over a year, because I was afraid of what I would find out.
Now in order to make my wallet safe (although I have a long password that I hope I remember) how do I make my wallet safe (in general)?
But if they can't guess your password, are you 'safe'?
Make sure you don't have keyloggers running in your system. Doesn't matter if the password is long and complicated if you have malware installed. If you have a large balance, keep it in cold storage. Only keep small amounts you plan to use in a hot wallet. And be careful with what sites you visit and what you install.
It is a good idea scan it with your virus protection of choice. And also I suggest using malwarebytes to look for malware. The combination is a good thing.
And on old computer be careful what you do with hardrive don't just throw it out, as it might end up in a recycling center. At least I would run something such as boot and nuke, and rewrite the crap out of that drive. And if it was me I would open it up and smash the platters with a hammer.
And store a copy on a usb drive or two. Just make sure to keep them in safe places. You really want a copy in case of something bad causing lose of computer.
