So I'm in the catch22 of a V0.5 wallet installed on a WinXP laptop.
Can't move the BTC and can't replace the wallet with a 'new" XP-compatible alternative.
Is an online wallet my only hope and if so how to organize it??
Many thanks in advance!

 Huh

ETA:
I see little point in exporting into another wallet that also doesn't support the dreaded XP.

if you want to stick to your deprecated and extremely unsafe windows XP then your option is a web wallet like blockchain.info so that at least you are controlling your private keys.
but if you value your security then i suggest trying Linux. there are a lot of distributions that are light weight and even if your computer is old and not-strong you can run them much faster than you run Win XP. my suggestion is Lubuntu, it is Ubuntu with a light weight desktop environment https://lubuntu.net/ and it looks like windows a little.
you can install it then install Electrum and move your funds from Multibit to the latest version of Electrum.

Many thanks for your quick response.
Lubuntu sounds like a great idea!
