What to do with an old wallet.dat file?

Hi all,

I dabbled with some mining back in the day (2009 I think) - I cannot remember what coin I even mined or what programme. However I did find an old wallet.dat file.

Does anyone know how I can find out what currency it is and how to potentially 'read' this file?

I run Windows. Any help would be appreciated!

How about you PM me a link to it and I'll see if I can find out

Bitcoin was the only crypto around in 2009 so that's probably what you got. I think you have to install Bitcoin Core and import that wallet file.
