So after much frustration, searching and messing around the reward is available to anyone who can explain the fix like im a retard, cause whilst I dont think I am I sure feel it!
Honest and genuine, I  assure you the reward will be paid the minute I can actually send it.

Anyways I opened up an electrum wallet 6-8 weeks ago. I have done small payments from said wallet with no drama but I've struck a problem whilst trying to send a larger amount.
It seems I have a multisig wallet as the addresses start with a 3 with 2fa enabled.

How in the hell do i change the wallet to normal??
Ive unclicked the 2fa button in settings. Yet when I hit the settings button next to the 2fa nothing except a little box opens but never loads any options. Not that it has anything to do with my problem I dare say.....

I know my password.
I have my seed. Well so I thought or think i did/do :/ Ive exported my wallets keys to a file and then attempted what I thought was a fix in that I could open a new wallet using my seed or wallet keys and all would be ok and back to a normal non multisig wallet. Each time i enter my seed the next button never turns dark nor does it when i insert my wallet keys.

So basically I've no fkn idea and am at a loss where I go from here as im too afraid to try anything for fear of lost coins due to operator error and my seed and keys not working for god knows what reason..

Please help! And remember

I don't really understand what you are asking but I am answering according to what I understood.

Do you want to convert a multisig wallet to non-multisig wallet? If so, then I am sorry to tell, you can't. If you want to use a non-multisig wallet, then, create a new non-multisig wallet and transfer coins from multisig wallet to newly created wallet.

You will need to create a new electrum wallet that does not have multisig and transfer the funds to that wallet. You would transfer the funds with the same procedure that you sent the small amounts in the past.

Once you send money to a multisig address, it is not possible to convert those funds to a "normal" (eg non-multisig address) without spending those funds.

I think thats exactly their problem, they cant send any coins.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

He said he was able to spend small amounts without "drama". What changed that caused him to not be able to spend additional funds in the same procedure as previously?

Thanks for your help so far peoples but after loading a new wallet which I did on a different computer I thought all was good successfully sending 1btc to it. I then tried a larger batch with no luck and have been busy since. I just tried sending 1btc again but alas no luck.

As the picture I attached it shows the problem seems to be that any transfer is only ever partially signed. Why random transactions go thru and others dont is beyond me.

The seed mnemonic is what you need. It consists of 25 random english words. Do you have it? If you do then follow these steps:

- run electrum
- click file menu > new/restore
- enter a filename for your new wallet and click ok
- select "restore a wallet or import keys" under "what do you want to do?" and "wallet with 2 factor authentication" under "wallet type"
- enter the seed mnemonic (25 random english words). click next
- enter a suitable password
- it will now fetch transactions in your wallet and display it to you.
- in future to open this wallet use file menu > open
- that's about it

Please grab an address from here: https://bitcoinspakistan.com/bitcoin-address/

BTW you can create a shortcut to open your new wallet file using the -w switch:

Code:
electrum -w c:\path\to\wallet_file
