Take note though, Windows is very vulnerable to malware and viruses compared to other operating systems. Meaning your private keys are more vulnerable when on Windows. Depending on what operating system you're currently using, I would prefer installing a wallet on a Linux operating system or even better in my opinion if you would keep your bitcoins/cryptocurrencies on an android device or apple device instead.

If you were to keep it on an andriod or apple device, how would you deal with backing up the private key & wallet.dat file? The problem with phones is if it's lost or stolen.

What do you think about these strategies:

1. Encrypting the private key & the Wallet.dat file with GPG4Win. Secure wipe the original private key & the Wallet.dat file so there's no traces left on your computer. When you want to use your wallet program you just decrypt the Wallet.dat file. Open your wallet, do what you need to do, close it. Use GPG4Win and encrypt the new Wallet.dat file. Secure wipe the new unencrypted Wallet.dat file. Also secure wipe the old original encrypted Wallet.dat file as you now have a new encrypted Wallet.dat file.

2. What about if you were to keep your private key and your Wallet.dat file saved onto an encrypted partition/volume using Veracrypt. When you need to use your wallet you copy the Wallet.dat file off the encrypted volume once mounted to your C:/coinfolder/. Open your wallet, do what you need to do, close it. Copy the new Wallet.dat file to the encrypted volume then dismount that volume so it's fully encrypted again. Secure wipe the new unencrypted Wallet.dat file sitting in your C:/coinfolder/

Thank you!This is so helpful for someone like me who mostly uses phone!

For bitcoin you can afford to install electrum as it takes very less space and is also easy to use.
But for altcoins I advise you to stick with official wallets as others are quiet risky to install as they may contain hidden viruses or maybe keyloggers.

i advise to use main bitcoin core software if you have good internet speed & HDD space else use Electrum instead . for online solution use blockchain.info and always never forget to backup wallet.dat file.
