Hey. I need help. I had an old Safex wallet on an old laptop. I wanted to start a new one and migrate to a new wallet, but it turned out that the disk was burned. I have a new disk and only the saved private key card I do not have this file. He asks me to get the key from the computer saved in the file. As I wrote, I have only written on a piece of paper and not in the form of a file. I do not know what to do? How can this new wallet be opened in my situation? PLEASE HELP Thank you Tomek ---

Hi Tomek, This is a great situation to be in, I am glad that you wrote down the private key: You could watch this video and it will show you how to restore your wallet where you only have the private key: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/lKTIA1AHn0w/maxresdefault.jpg "Obsolete | Migrating the old Safex from the Bitcoin Blockchain to the new Safex Blockchain") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKTIA1AHn0w) Feel free to reply here if you have any further questions. Sincerely, Daniel ---
