Hi

Could anyone please help me?

Had a Bitcoin core a couple years ago.

Backed up wallet.dat and put it into safe place

Changed a computer to PC since

Now installed Core, replaced existing wallet with the old one.

It saying wallet.dat is corrupt, salvation failed

What can I do?

Sorry for silly question. I'm a bit slow with computers

Cheers

What was the last version of Core that you had? You may need to start Core with the -upgradewallet option.

Try one of your other backups and see if they do the same thing.

Try starting your wallet with the -salvagewallet option.
