Which version .deb pkg to install to recover wallets using root seed from 2014?

[daveraye]

I intend to recover 2014 wallets from "forever" paper backup using root key saved from a Win 7 system.
Is version 0.96.5 capable of restoring with 7 year old root key on Debian 10 VM in Qubes-OS?
... or which version should I install?

Yes, as long as it's not a "fragmented backup".
v0.96.5 has the option to select the version of the wallet backup to be restored: from 1.35, 1.35a and 1.35c.

The "wallet version" should be on your paper backup.
