Help regaining access to funds from Zepio

Ok, for you to transfer a wallet.dat to a new PC that will fully sync:

  1. Find the wallet.dat file that has your funds on the old PC. It could be in a place like [%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Zcash]
    Make a copy of it and re-name it to something other than wallet.dat like BACKUPwallet.dat , set it aside.
  2. Get the new Node on the new machine fully installed and let it sync to 100%
  3. Stop the now synced node. Find the location of the newly made wallet.dat on the new PC and rename it to NEWwallet.dat or something and set it aside. Never delete wallet.dat files, ever, until you are positive they are empty.
  4. Grab the BACKUPwallet.dat from the old PC and transfer it to the new PC in the same location that you found the wallet.dat originally, then rename it wallet.dat.
  5. Restart the new node and do a -rescan so Zcashd will search for the ZEC in the wallet.dat you moved from the old PC.
  6. If all goes well your ZEC balance will show up.

Now you can send/receive normally with the fullnode, including sending it to a different lite wallet if you want to.

Feel free to ask if you run into any snags, and remember to just be patient and let it run, depending on your internet speed and PC specs it can take anywhere from several hours to a day or more for a full node to sync 100%.
