I am a complete newbie, so this is like some kind of new language.

I was given link to the old armory site and downloaded Armory 96 without realizing there is an updated website and version. The person I was working with sent me my coins after I created my wallet and I made a paper backup and another back up on a thumb drive of the Keys, which are 2 lines of letters in increments of 4 letters, so each line has 36 keys for a total of 72. Anyways, I have that saved as well as the "address" where this person sent me my coins.

The DB failed to spawn and was unable to go online as I was directed to.

Researching this, I discovered I was supposed to download Bitcoin Core. So I did that. It was synching for a day and started reading at this forum and discovered that I had the wrong link to Armory. I was in the old site and had downloaded the old version.

Question:

If I start over and delete Armory, and then re-install it with the correct version on the correct website (btcarmory.com) is there a way to use my original Key and Address to take possession of my coins?

Also, if I decide to use another computer entirely and do the downloads properly can I somehow use my original key & address to take possession of the coins?

Thanks,

I have figured this out.

I may have other questions later but for now this one can be closed.

Sometimes I type out a question to post, but the act of putting the problem into words leads me to figure out the answer before I even hit send Grin
