what wallet are you using? If it is Bitcoin Core/Bitcoin-Qt, then go to https://bitcoin.org/en/download Otherwise look up the name of the wallet you are using and go to their website to download and install the latest version.

Bitcoin version v0.8.1-beta

that is what it says in the 'about' bitcoin menu in the bitcoin wallet.



I need a windows 32 download.

You are using Bitcoin Core, the reference Bitcoin wallet. There are many Bitcoin wallets out there, not just one called Bitcoin Wallet. To download and install the latest version of Bitcoin Core, go to https://bitcoin.org/en/download and download the version you want. Run the installer and it will set everything up for you.

I need to transfer some bitcoins from one site to another site.

will the new bitcoin wallet take 3 days to synch?


although my 'old' bitcoin wallet has that message saying it is obsolete,

it worked fine to transfer some coins a few days ago.

Do you think it will work ok to transfer some coins first,

and then I will download the new bitcoin wallet?

Or should I download the new wallet, wait to transfer my bitcoins, and wait for 3 days for the new wallet to synch?

While it should be fine to send Bitcoin somewhere, it is not recommended. It should not take 3 days to sync unless your wallet is currently not synced. The new installation does not delete the directory where the blockchain is stored so once installed, it will be fully synced. You should however back up your wallet just in case. If you go to the data directory, copy the wallet file to a safe location while you install and copy it back when the installation is done. The data directory can be found by typing

Code:

%appdata%/Bitcoin

into the bar at the top of windows explorer. The wallet file is named wallet.dat

If you already have a version of Bitcoin Core just go to - https://bitcoin.org/en/download & download the latest version, it'll be 0.11.0

You don't need to download the entire blockchain again, it should take 5-10 mins to go & you're ready to go with the latest version. This happened to me a while back, I was still using version 9. something & it prompted me to upgrade. Don't worry just update your software, simple.

it will take a while to reindex (they changed the file system on 9.x) take an hours or so to do the full blockchain but it dosnt redownload it. it should sync pretty quick. it will need to sync up to the network but only whats not already been synced

^^Go there and make the decision for yourself.  I would recommend Electrum for your first one but it is up to you.

If you have bitcoin core, download the latest version from here: https://bitcoin.org/en/download (don't delete your appdata folder or anything)
If you have another client like electrum or some other one, go onto their website and usually in the downloads section you should find the latest version.
