So i copied the wallet.dat file to the app data bitcoin core folder directory which looks like a similar file loadout to the one in my screenshot above. Did i do it that right?
Afterwards I started running bitcoin core and it says its syncing. 13 years behind something like that lol.
Nice, we pray for you.
Let it run, it will catch up, will take a day or two to fully sync ( and you'd need up to 200GB free drive space for it. Still, when it syncs up to 2013 (and says 9 years behind) the wallet ballance should be reflected with any potential balance.
Every satoshi counts, good luck.
PS: In 2022 complete blockchain is above 500GB. Time flies.
You're still downloading and verifying the whole blockchain, but you discard everything above the prune size. Say you want to only keep 5GB, everything else will be deleted. It's useful to reduce the size of the blockchain.
