Hey guys,
I've got this old wallet where I printed the root key on paper. I'm pretty sure there's nothing in it, but I want to double-check for my own peace of mind. The problem is, I'm running into issues with Armory, and since I'm on Windows 11, it seems like it's not supported anymore.
So I'm totally offline with Armory, which means I can't grab any public keys to check things on sites like blockstream.info. I'm kind of stuck here. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can sort this out? All I've got is that root key, and since Armory won’t let me online, I’m left with nothing else.

Download and install any Linux you like, install Armory, restore your root key, check the addresses. The last 2 steps can be done offline for safety.
We are also fighting with recovery of armory wallet.
The approach that is more feasible for you:
1. Download old Armory wallet
2. Download OLD ! OLD bitcoin CORE.
3. Connect it together and sync.
Trick is to download OLD bitcoin core for armory.
Thank you with report
OP should move this thread to Armory section of this forum.
If you tried this already, then why don't you specify which old version of Bitcoin Core should be better used than current for Armory?
What kind of feature does Armory need from an old Bitcoin Core version that doesn't work in recent versions of Bitcoin Core? (I've no experience with Armory, though.)
