Yes just make sure you also have your seed stored somewhere very safe offline where no one can ever find it.
Yeah I did  Wink
So pretty much I can forget about the private keys, I only have to care about the seed.

One question about the 2FA: in case I restore the wallet on a new computer, after the seed is it gonna ask also for the 2FA or not? I mean the very first time I restore the wallet.

if you restore on a new computer you don't need 2fa.

you can see the private key for each address by right clicking the address I think or choosing view privte keys from the menu

That won't work for 2fa wallets since they contain p2sh addresses and there are multiple private keys for those. Electrum only shows one.

BTW OP I was wrong in my earlier post about restoring 2fa wallets. I just did a test restore and you can actually choose to keep or disable 2fa in the restored wallet. So you have the choice.

Thanks a lot to both of guys!  Wink

Now I'm 100% sure that the only thing I need to restore the wallet is the seed, and nothing else.
