Will the bitcoin still be in the wallet after reinstallation or do I have to use the "code" to get them back somehow?

save the wallet.dat file in at least 3 places  before you delete  anything

then re-install a fresh wallet and import the wallet.dat file into it

This wallet.dat is the name for the long code that is unique to my own wallet?
Sorry new at this.

Or perhaps its possible to create a new one through https://blockchain.info/sv/wallet/new ?
Just not 100% that my own code is the same as wallet.dat, or in this case on blockhain "E"...

You don't need to reinstall.

Bitcoin QT is verifying your blockchain. Let it run, give it about 5 minutes before you try pull it up. IT IS working, check your HDD activity light.

From what I gather, he has Bitcoin QT to start when window starts. When Windows loads, and he tries to pull Bitcoin QT up, it won't come up as it is verifying the blocks. A way to confirm this is to ctrl alt delete and kill bitcoinqt and then restart it and you will see a splash screen saying verifying blocks... it will last a few minutes.

If you have a solid state, install your blockchain on that and it will load much faster.

When scrolling the mouse over the icon I can see that theres no green loading bar in the small window that showes.
Still not possible to maximize. When restarting I get the smaller loading window as usual.

Rather than finding your wallet.dat just click File > Backup wallet. Save it on USB's, other drives, cold PC's etc. What you can also do is an export dump of your privkeys and store those in a zip lock bag in a safe.

Have you reinstalled it and made a backup before that? If you want to know where it is, it is at the %appdata% of your computer. You should be able to see a folder called bitcoin and you can open it and see the wallet.dat. you can copy it elsewhere for backup.

Have you turned the computer off and back on again? (This is always the first step, always)
