Lost Seed for electrum wallet

[kimjiny123]

Hello all,

My first time here on bitcoin forum, but I have developed an issue regarding my bitcoin wallet.
My computer hardware just recently died, so I moved my hard drive to a new computer with all the files intact, but the new computer is no longer able to open my electrum wallet, and I have no idea where my seed phrase is.

Is there any way to recover my wallet?

Sorry to say but without the Seed and/or Wallet/Private-Keys back up there is no way to get hold of your Bitcoins. Seed is presented when you first make the wallet and it is used to generate keys in your wallet.

What do you mean with "new computer is no longer able to open my electrum wallet"?

What exactly did you do? I assume you have a new operation system installed on the new hardware, is that correct?

Your wallet file is in your electrum data dir:

Run electrum and use the file menu > open option to open the wallet file.

@shorena yes that is correct

@shorena yes that is correct

You will need to install electrum again and open the old wallet file, see the post by Abdussamad where to find the file on your old disk.
