Can someone give me a step-by-step walk through? I promise to send a tip once I recover the coins.
Very simple. Download the latest version. Start it. Close it. Replace the newly created wallet with the said backup wallet. Open it and sync it fully.
After syncing, you will see the balance if it was not spent early. In case, if it misses to show.
Go to debug->console and type 'repairwallet'. Solved.
I installed v0.8.7.3 and it's currently displaying an update alert.
But when I went to get the Windows update, a forum post said it contained a virus?
