Topic: Transfer Bitcoin through wallets in Electrum (Read 145 times)
Thank you to all, I understand now
Can I import the bitcoin in a new wallet with the private key and then change this private keys?
You can't import bitcoin into a wallet at all. You can import 1) wallet backups and 2) private keys.
The private key (out of the public-/private- keypair created by your wallet) allows you to sign transactions 'from the corresponding address'.
The only way to 'change a private key' - in terms of controlling your coins - is to simply send your BTC's to a new address you have the private key of.
Quite a few wallets have an in-built function for that (sweeping).

When you import private key in wallet you also import address which is related to that private key,so you just change wallet but address and private key remain the same.If you want to move your BTC to new address you need to send them on transaction to new address,then with that address you will get new private key.
I do not know what exactly you want to achieve with "changing of private key",but if you care about privacy then you shoud know that Electrum will always give you new address for receive BTC,and when you send it will use change address.
I recommend you read about how things work with Electrum : http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/

Good morning I wanted to know if there is a way to transfer bitcoins with Electrum between different wallets created within the application without having to pay the fees of a normal transfer. I used Multibit that is no longer supported and with the private key I created a wallet on Electrum importing it and now, created a second wallet on Electrum, transfer them without paying the fees. Thanks for the advices
Not possible.The bitcoin network does not know --or care-- that the addresses are in the same wallet.
You can always import the private key/seed for free.
It's not possible as you will need to make an on-chain transaction and pay its fees.
