Topic: Move Bitcoin Wallet from Phone to Computer (Read 438 times)
If for whatever reason you cannot connect your phone to the internet to transfer the money via the blockchain, you can always back up the private keys from the wallet file (instructions at https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet/tree/master/wallet) and move the backup using Bluetooth once you pair your phone with your computer.
I am using Bitcoin Wallet v5.38 on my Android v6.01 phone. I am about to change my phone and want to move my wallet to my Windows 10 PC. How do I go about it?
There are a few ways of doing this.
The safest:
1. Install wallet software if you haven't already, I recommend electrum.
2. Click Wallet>show addresses, right click the address and show its qr code and scan this on your phone to send the funds.
Alternatively:
1. Make a backup and put it on your computer.
2. Look at the how to guides in the Android bitcoin wallet section.
3. You can then sweep these coins into electrum and use them. You can import them.as well but I wouldn't recommend these.

Talking about the topic this thing isn't really complicated at all since you can easily install electrum,bitcoin core and other desktop wallets and send those funds on that wallet came from your mobile phone bitcoin wallet as simple as that.
Wow! That's perfectly almost identical. (Excluding an "s" and the link).
And yes, using automatic software ("bots") to post on threads is against the rules. Along with the plagairism grey area.

If you want to be serious about your bitcoins, you shouldn't be storing bitcoin on a windows machine. Download an user friendly Linux distro like Ubuntu and store your coins there. Also do not import any private keys. To move between wallets, simply make a transaction to your new wallet and that's all.
You have to sweep them otherwise coins get lost as there is no "max" function.

You can either send the funds from your phone to a completely new wallet on your computer and pay the fees or you could find the location where the wallet.dat is stored on the phone and copy it over using what ever method you want.
You could also export the private keys from your phone and import them into the new wallet on your desktop, depending on the security of your phone.
