Good afternoon.
I want to completely reinstall Windows on my PC.
Please tell me how to transfer your Anchor Wallet correctly.
In order not to lose access to it. If there is a step-by-step instruction somewhere I will be grateful.
On the existing PC, you would do the following:
- Open Anchor and on the right column there is a “backup” option.
- Click that and save the backup file to a USB drive or some external source.
- If you want to be extra safe, you can also export the private key for each account you have loaded. You can do this from the “Manage Wallets” section, and with the wallet unlocked, use the dropdown on the right of the account to “View Account”. There you can find the private key itself that Anchor is storing for you - save that someplace safe.
Then, on the new PC:
- Install Anchor
- On the first screen, choose “Restore Anchor Backup File”, and select the file you saved in Step 1.
- It’s going to ask for your wallet password, which is the password you set for Anchor on your old PC. Enter this password and it will restore your wallet to the same configuration it was on your old PC.
