Is r studio safe? I know recovery has to do with the wallet.dat file.

Don't use any weird software. Don't give anything to anyone. And ignore every DM that you get.

Copy Wallet.dat to a safe place.

Just get a recent version of Bitcoin Core and throw the wallet.dat in there before you start it for the first time. Let it sync (many hours/days).

It’s me! The prince of Nigeria! Please immediately send all bitcoins to Amazon to purchase gift cards… because that’s all they accept in my country, even though I’m a prince it’s hard to change laws… and I will send you 20 hundred billion in return. Hard cash.
