Hello,

I’ve stored my ADA on Daedalus 0.8.2 couple of years back, when I recently tried to start my desktop wallet, it started but stuck on “Connecting to Network…” state for ever.

OS version: Windows 10  
Starting from: C:\Program Files\Daedalus\daedalus.bat

I’ve checked the logs and here are some useful info (Please see attached logs, I’ve replaced some IP addresses from my logs):

Could you Please help here how to make this version working. I’m thinking to run this version successfully then upgrade to new version. If I re-install the latest version on top of 0.8.2 version, will it retain the ADA in my Wallet?

I want to keep the “recovery using the phrase” as last option…

The software from 2 years ago is not compatible as we’ve gone through multiple forks. It’s best for you to download (from [https://daedaluswallet.io](https://daedaluswallet.io)) the latest wallet, install it - and then use recover using your seed phrase. You do not need to uninstall/touch existing Daedalus yet (until your funds are available in new Daedalus version), the new version is called `Daedalus Mainnet`.
