I think you will need to wait for the client to fully snyc before you can transfer funds. Its going to take a while.

In ten minutes it has done 25 weeks, so it will take a few hours to fully sync with the network.
Though my coputer needs often a reset, because it can not update and every week it has a scheduled update which i can't cancel Sad

So mayby a wallet that needs to sync not the best for me.

Edit: It has done now 1 year in 15 minutes, so it wont take 3 days

That is fast i think

also at the same time i am installing visual studio so, prety fast for this pc

It's fast initially and that's normal, because there were not so many tranactions in early days.

I guess it won't take 3 whole days but your sync speed will surely get slower later. Wink

.Good luck.

watch some bitcoin documentaries on youtube, you will get a little grasp what bitcoin is
next buy some little of bitcoin from any exchange, send to your wallet and wait until it will synchronize
then sent it to anyone, to see how it works

now u understand how bitcoin is easy, fast and cheap

It will get slower the closer you get because the blocks got bigger over time.

Maybe not. There are other local wallets that sync within minutes, multibit (hd), electrum (2), just to name two. Maybe this[1] page can help.

I have my bitcoin currently at my blockchain wallet, I want to store them at my computer.
What are the things I need to do before I send my funds to my wallet?

Also, my wallet says 6 years and 43 weeks behind...

It's going to take you like 3 days to download the full blockchain. Wait for it to download then copy a bitcoin receiving address you have in Core into blockchain.info & send your bitcoin's to Core brother.

You can send funds to Core before the full sync if you want but your wallet balance won't show until you're fully synced.

Don't forget to back up your wallet in Core regularly.

Correct, it greatly depends on your internet connection, disk and CPU speed. You currently have to download and verify ~55 Gigabyte of blockchain data.

Obviously remember to backup your wallet.dat too.
