Transfer data from Bitcoin 8.0 to 14.0

[swampboogiedoug]

I obtained .1 bitcoin ( I believe that was the amount) back in either 2011 or 2013 ( I have BC files on my computer from both of those dates ).   I wanted to get involved in using them so I downloaded the current wallet and ran the synchronization.  I have what I believe are all the old files on a remote hard drive. A search reveals  89 files ( none of them dat ). They are H, RC ,QM, CPP, application, PNG, ICNS. Which of these files do I need ?  Can you share, click by click, how I copy & paste or transfer these ?         Thank you !

A quick google search of these extensions tells me that they are just from the source code.
Other than the application which will be the runnable application.

I think the file has always been .dat since the creation of bitcoin core so you may not have your 0.1BTC.

ICNS and JPG are image files.
H, RC, QM and CPP are all programming code languages/extensions.

There is a file bitcoin_da.qm  and one bitcoin_da    Could these be it ?

They still look like part of the source code.
They are in this folder of the github repo https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/src/qt/locale.

Can you search the entire hard drive for .dat (if there isn't many on it) and see if that gets you anything.

No. All of those files are unrelated. Those are for the source code. Only files that have a .dat file extension could be the wallet file. Specifically files named wallet.dat. If you do not find any such files, then the wallet is not on your machine.
