Is there a step by step tutorial of the process you mentioned?

Yes... I have written it up several times before... this post is probably the tidiest version of it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.43255691

NOTES:

when you are importing the "Plain Base58" (aka WIF) keys into Electrum you may need to specify the "script-type" to get it to show the correct address (as Electrum supports multiple address types):

If your Armory address starts with a "1" use the "p2pkh:" prefix
If your Armory address starts with a "3" use the "p2wpkh-p2sh:" prefix

A few examples (as per the Electrum "info" button):

p2pkh:KxZcY47uGp9a... -> 1DckmggQM...
p2wpkh-p2sh:KxZcY47uGp9a... -> 3NhNeZQXF...

Also, you will likely see several hundred private keys/addresses when doing the export... if you've only done one transaction, you can simply use the one key that matches the address you sent BTC to, you don't need to import the other hundred keys Wink

Wow you are an awesome person, thank you very much!!

I think you can export private keys from backup in the wallet properties just choose the private keys so that you can transfer or import the wallet to Electrum wallet or other wallets you want to.

Beware on fake Electrum make sure that you download the Electrum from the official website here is the correct website electrum.org

Thanks, I have the correct Electrum wallet installed now. Is there a step by step tutorial of the process you mentioned?

I only have 80gb remaining on my PC, installed Armory thinking it was like Electrum, sent some BTC to my Armory address and after a few hours the wallet wont go online. I have figured out what was wrong with my Electrum wallet and want the BTC in that wallet now but what can I do to see my deposit in Armory without going over 80gb?

Thank you!!
