Recover Lost Coins from Windows

Hi all, I have a Windows machine that have an old Darkcoin Wallet installed in 2014. Microsoft had forced me to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 some time after that.

Recently, I opened the old Darkcoin wallet and it is showing zero balance. The address has also changed.

I have tried putting the wallet.dat file to a Dash Core wallet but it did not work.

I believe the old wallet.dat file may have been deleted when my machine was upgraded. Is there a way to recover it?
 
Hi there! Your Darkcoin wallet will probably no longer connect to the network, but the wallet file will still have all your keys, if you have the right wallet file. You should use the search function in Windows Explorer to search your entire computer for *.dat files and look for either an automatically created backup from the Darkcoin wallet, or perhaps any backups you made on external drives (you did do this, right?). Then follow these instructions to set up a current version of Dash Core and get it to use your old wallet.
