Moving wallet from Electrum to Core

Hey guys, I’m trying to bring my wallet from Electrum over to Bitcoin Core. I’ve already exported the private key from Electrum. But whenever I use the command importprivkey 'privatekeyfromelextrum', I keep getting an error saying that only legacy wallets can use this command... Any tips or help would be appreciated!

Use importdescriptors command followed by the descriptor containing your WIF private key with checksum and timestamp. For example (native SegWit): To get the correct checksum, use the command, getdescriptorinfo. For example: If your address is legacy from old version of Electrum, replace "wpkh" with "pkh". The importprivkey command will work if you create a non-descriptor wallet but Bitcoin Core will soon drop support for such wallet format so it's better to learn those descriptor wallet-comaptible commands.

nc50lc has already provided a great answer to your question. I just wanted to add that the official Bitcoin Core documentation offers comprehensive insights into commands, usage, and wallet management. You can access it here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/

The private key appears to be a p2pkh.  Does that change anything? This wallet was originally a Zelcore wallet that exports the private keys is WIF format. Thank you!

Private keys don't specify a script type, but if you want to recover a P2PKH address beginning with "1", then just change from wpkh to pkh in nc50lc's instructions above. Run getdescriptorinfo to get the checksum, then importdescriptors with the calculated checksum.
