In 2013 I installed a BITCOIN CORE (V0.10.2) wallet in my netbook computer and purchased 1 bitcoin. Recently I have wanted to sell but found the wallet out of sync and needing to download the entire Blockchain because the computer crashed years ago due to dud battery. when I get past the date when I purchased my bitcoine it appears in my wallet OK but trying to complete the block chain download takes so long that the netbook Locks up before it is complete – why i don’t know, but anyway………………..
Is there a way to transfer my wallet or its contents to a new BITCOIN CORE wallet (v0.15) that I have in a much newer computer without completing the blockchain in my old netbook? Put another way – what constitutes the identity of my old wallet? – and can that identity be transfered to my new wallet so my bitcoin appears there?
