* Start by installing Raven-QT wallet follow [[Best_practices#General_wallet_guide|General wallet guide]] if needed, skip encrypt and backup for now.
* Once you have Raven-qt running and fully synced, quit raven-qt and wait for it to fully exit.
* Open our your Data folder , the default location is shown below this guide.* Move the wallet.dat that is already inside your Data folder (Raven) folder to another location ie. desktop, and put our your backup wallet.dat here instead. If you used a memorable name for your backup wallet.dat we need you rename it back to wallet.dat now.
*Launch Raven-qt and you should see your funds available.
