Hello, I recently bought a new computer and after moving my Bitcoin QT with all of the Wallet, and blockchain info, it has now crashed and wont start back on. Worst is after  migrating all of the info, I made new addresses and sent coins to them (that of course I have not properly backed up).  On my old computer I still have the old Bitcoin QT. I just have not updated it in 3-4 weeks. If run Bitcoin QT on my old computer will my new coins and receiving addresses be there after I sync up with the block chain? If not I guess I just need to figure out a way to recover the hard drive.

Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.  Thanks.

Bitcoin-QT always has the next 100 Addresses it will use pre generated in the wallet. This includes change Addresses. If you have used less than 100 new Addresses (each transaction also uses 1 due to change) your Backup is still good.

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

That's great!  So I should just run QT on my old computer and the new coins will be there?
