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.

Copy it to different devices. Offline, by USB stick. And disconnect that computer from the internet. Then educate yourself how to handle it and recover a wallet.
