Hello there crypto people

I downloaded several crypto wallets and bought coins about 4 yrs ago. My computer that the wallets are on is an old software which doesn't support the new wallets...

I have backups from all wallets, tried downloading new wallets for some and transacting a few over but they never arrived even thought the transaction data for both are up to date.

My question is

If I have backups from my old wallets, how do I put the coins into a new wallet??..I tried sending a few to an exchange as well and they never showed there either..pretty frustrating as I have some considerable money in them

Thanks in advance
There is many possibilities, for example :

1) Use the standards procedure : "file -> backup wallet" in the old computer and "file -> import wallet" in the new computer.

2) For Bitcoin core and all similar wallet : you can copy your file "wallet.dat" from your old computer and paste it in the same directory in your new computer.

3) If you are not sure, you can do a withdraw from your old wallet in your old computer to your new wallet in your new computer.

Do you have a transaction id of your transactions? That could possibly reveal why the coins aren't arriving.
