hey guys. Im going to install electrum on a new computer. The current computer that i installed electrum on recently, i will not use anymore and will want electrum deleted here.
Do you guys suggest i download electrum on the new computer first and restore it with the 12 word phrase? Then i go and delete electrum on the other computer that i no longer will use? Or it doesn't matter which one first? Probably better to restore electrum on new computer first in case right? Does that mean you can have electrum opened on 2 different computers at once? Or i should x electrum on the old computer first?
And can someone confirm how to delete electrum fully on my old computer that i no longer will use? Do i have to remove programs electrum? Or can i just delete it off of my desktop. I assume the first one right since removing just the desktop, the desktop icon is nothing more than a shortcut? Thus if i type electrum on the search bar, then its still there? Thanks.
Best is to restore your wallet through the seed in the new computer and the newly installed electrum. Download the latest version which is out 2.7.0 so you will have the latest electrum installed.
Then you can just format your HDD of the PC you will not use anymore. Do something good about it, install a Linux distro and when you become more knowledgeable in using Electrum use that PC for cold storage.
