Ok this is my problem I forgot about this wallet that I'm sure I saved to a 1TB HDD one USB and maybe one more place. I remembered that old wallet when I recently downloaded electrum wallet and bought for same amount but this time BC is worth 9K+ $!! and then I remembered that I'm 80% sure that I did not spent all bc on that old wallet just little less than half. so by my calculations there should be about 2,54bc left in that wallet. problem when I connected my 1tb old external HDD and searched for wallet I got a .jpg and picture of wallet I think I may used 2012-2013 but also showed up after search a file wallet.dat I thought maybe that's the file containing data of bitcoins. but it did not show a exe file like my new wallet electrum is in program apps and if I open the wallet opens.
so how should I search to find the exe file so the wallet I used opens up with that wallet.dat file I found. which also leads to new Question I dont remember my wallet from 2012 had a seed some one here maybe can answer that question better. but I found the wallet but say pathway dont exist. then I searched after clicking show hidden folders. i searched word bitcoin and found the wallet.dat plus whole 9,7gb!! in that folder in appdata roaming bitcoin. thought I saw wrong cause always thought a bc wallet took 30mb!! max not 9,7GB in some file I dont understand what they are. on another HDD from almost same year I dont find a wallet.dat file but some file called crypto/crypto URL and machine key ??
so I googled and found out it should be enough with only the wallet.dat file but I know I saved the whole bc wallet on that HDD and like I said found 9,7GB so I would like most of all a kind soul explain if its possible to recover my wallet and what is those 9,7gb files. or is it best to use only the wallet.dat file and do like this guy in this video. i follow most except CMD I'm really bad with it. i will post the video cause he had a old wallet also from 2013 and recovered 1.74BC lucky him. now if any seed is needed I like I said dont remember a seed in wallets back in 2012-2013. but I had a password and I can narrow them down to 3-4 I used at that time. so this guy in video dont even mention you need a password or seed words.
I'm happy to solve this with some help or if I give up a teamvier session but of course I'm afraid the one helping me will bail with my wallet.dat file so like in title I'm offering 20% please dont scam me I'm a poor man compared to average so I think 20% is fair if you see you can fix the problem if I give up. but I'm a man of my word will pay 200$ for good tips on how to proceed. with this money I can pay for a clinic to my girlfriend that helps women get pregnant its true no bs , writing this so if it ends with a teamvier session you know what you rob me off. and think 20% is fair. some would ask more 50% saying without me you got nothing true right? but there are even people honset people I've seen some threads where just happy to help out
but I cant not give anything if I get my 2.54 BC that I'm 80% sure I did not send so well see if i/we succeed in open the damn wallet.will post pics how it looks and dont understand why the wallet is corrupted when I try user/desktop then bitcoin.
first the video but this is if you only got the wallet.dat file I got whole 9,7gb but is the video legit can I try that without any damage to wallet.dat file ? and why does the youtube say I need 160Gb of space thought maybe he had millions of transactions I had max 4 transactions.

ps dont be angry if we succeed to open the wallet and its empty, I can just give my word that I would not make that up to avoid paying up. and if it comes to teamvier help you will know I'm not lying after tried 3-4 passwords if that's needed. the best would be if some one explain how to just find the .exe to these 9,7!!gb of bitcoin map. and try my 3-4 ´passwords.
first picture is from my external HDD where I know I put one copy of my wallet
second picture is from a HDD I took out from a laptop I may have used at the time but its a year before. but want to point out I had only a bc wallet once 2012-2013 then I forgot about the remaining 2,54bc if I have not forgot something I bought. if that happens I apologize in advance but if I get that money for my GF and me I promise good tip will be rewarded. so is the youtube video guy correct way to recover a wallet.dat file or there easier ways read something about a github project pywallet i think that does same as in video but easier right?
