Topic: How to access wallet.dat from a previous wallet (Read 123 times)
So that worked! Once the new node was synced, I created a new wallet and then it was a simple drag and drop the old wallet.dat to replace the new one. I was able to send btc with the encrypted keys.
ok great. Thank you
Ok Thanks! So create a new wallet in the new node, then simply replace the wallet.dat?
Yes, that is the easiest solution.Quote
Will I need to do anything in the console for the passphrase?
You won't need the passphrase, unless you're sending funds.

can I just replace the new wallet.dat with the old wallet.dat?
Yes. But: exit Bitcoin Core before doing this. And backup your (funded) wallet.dat before loading it into a newer version of Bitcoin Core.
Hey everyone
How do I access the old BTCcore wallet.dat? I was operating a previous node then I ran out of space on that disk so I can't run that node to access that wallet. Can I simply create a new wallet in the new node and transfer the wallet.dat into the new wallet folder? Another word, can I just replace the new wallet.dat with the old wallet.dat? The new node is fully synced.
Thanks BTC
