Process to upgrade to newest wallet?
-
So I see there is a new wallet for download. I downloaded it and put it in a separate folder. The question I have is what is the process to upgrade the existing wallet? Just extract this new wallet into the same folder? I assume that if I just run the newly extracted wallet it will create new addresses and all of that which I don't need. Is there a for dummies on how to upgrade the wallet? Thanks.

@Longsnowsm Just download and run. The wallet just interacts with the block-chain, so everything else will be as before. You now have two versions of the wallet, but they both rely on the same blockchain. Think of it like this, the roads don't change just because you get a new car.

@iKnow0 I downloaded blockchain and was saved in my USB drive. Now, I am using a different computer. Can I use the same blockchain on my different computer or I still have to download it?

@Ramon32842016 Yes though if the blockchain is older then it wall take awhile to update it.

@socalguy I Blockchain about the first week this past September, but I notice is best to run it on Windows 64 bit which back than I was using 32 bit was giving me problems. I have an HP G62 Laptop 64 bit now should run it successfully.

@socalguy Thank You for your advice.
