Adresse changed, payout to old wallet?

[Livol]

Hi

sorry if this is the wrong forum to post in, but i cant really seem to find an answer to this question anywhere, might be me who are to stupid to use google properly...

I have not used bitcoin in months, and then i read a forum piece about someone who had forgotten about his account, so I decided to install bitcoin again, WITH my OLD wallet.dat file.

now my "problem" is that the address in the "receiving" part isn't my old address key... so if i were to pay out some BTCs to this old address key, would they still transfer to my wallet ?

-thanks in advance

Did you overwritten the old wallet.dat ?

When the old addresses are not in receive coin section then I guess you are using new wallet.dat and sending to old address you wont be able to spend it

Well if the case is this: you don't see any old wallets in the receive tab, it's most likely that a new wallet.dat has been generated.
OP do you have a backup of the old one?

Are you certain that you installed the wallet.dat file in the proper location?
