Hello there,

Please can anyone tell me if i can use my office PC and home PC to keep my same coins??


Your coins are not stored on any pc. All you need to spend your coins is your private key. This key can be stored anywhere, printed on paper or in handwriting or in form of qr code et cetera. There is no physical form where actual coins are stored. Anyone with your key can spend your coins. So while you own key you own coins regardless of location.

Thanks friend. I'm looking for this. And answer is here Smiley

If you keep very small amounts of digital currency in hot wallets on your computer is fine because a hacker probably won’t waste resources trying to gain access to small amounts of money. But if you are going to store big amount of money it will be much better if you use cold wallets (such as ledger nano) which are not connected to the internet

An HD-wallet, such as Electrum or Bitcoin Core, can do this. But the wallets won't share your address book (and transaction descriptions), and you double the risk of losing your coins.
Depending on the amount you want to keep in your wallet, you could consider using different wallets on both locations.


You're posting this question on the wrong board though, you can move (bottom-left) it to either Beginners & Help or for more in-debt questions Bitcoin Technical Support
A better title helps too, for instance: "Can I use one wallet on 2 computers" describes your question much better.
