Can Bitcoin Core installation on Computer #1 be fixed?
Why is there no APPDATA/Roaming/Bitcoin directory after installing Bitcoin Core on Computer #2?
What are some options for my wallet.dat file to recover the funds whether with Bitcoin Core or another local or web client, keeping in mind I have the wallet.dat, but can't start Bitcoin Core anymore.
