Open your NULS 1.0 Wallet

If your NULS is stored on a 1.0 wallet on your PC, you'll need to get a backup of your private keys to import your NULS into your 2.0 wallet.

1. Click your NULS icon to open your NULS wallet.
2. It may take 30-60 seconds to open, but it will open in a browser window. 
3. Click on the Wallet tab and ensure your accounts are listed under the "Account" drop down box
4. Click the  Icon next to the "Account" drop down box, and make a note of each address using a notepad application of your choice

Back up your private keys

Follow these steps for each address you noted down in the previous step!

1. Click the "Backup" link next to the account you wish to back up
2. Enter your password for your wallet
3. Click the "Private key backup of plaintext" link 
4. In the box that appears, click the "Copy" button to copy your private key to your clipboard.
5. Go to your notepad where you noted down your address, and paste it next to your address.
6. Close the popup window displaying your private key and click the "< Account" link at the top of the window to return to the previous page
7. Repeat these steps for each address in your account list. 
8. Close your NULS 1.0 wallet. You will no longer need it, and can delete it at this point (but it might not be a bad idea to keep it around until you're completely up and running with your 2.0 wallet!)

Download and extract the NULS 2.0 software

You can most likely use your previous NULS 1.0 server as long as it meets the system requirements:

• 4 Cores
• 16GB RAM
• 128GB Disk Space
• 20Mbps upllink

• Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 (works, but not official)

Note, the address below is for the beta, and will be updated when a mainnet 2.0 wallet is available. You can always find the latest releases for NULS 2.0 on the official github: https://github.com/nuls-io/nuls-v2/releases
