<p>Easy steps :<br>
1.  Start up Electrum where your Bitcoin is.<br>

4.  Now install ElectronCash from electroncash.org (it's fine on same PC)<br>
5.  Start up ElectronCash &amp; login with <em>SAME</em> password as your Electrum.<br>
6.  You'll see the Bitcoin Cash sitting there.<br>

<p>Just did it. Easy Pezzy work.
Copy the Seed/secret key from my electrum (original BTC) wallet and used it in "I already have a seed" option in electrum cash wallet. It will login and show you your remaining Bitcoin Cash. </p>

<p>Ps: I have Electrum and Electrum Cash wallets installed in the same PC. Didnt have any problem during transfer.
I did transfer my original BTC to another wallet for safety. But i doubt i needed to do that coz i doubt any reply problem will occur since they are separate blockchains.</p>

<p>I just realized that I have an old Electrum wallet with a small amount of Bitcoin. I'd like to claim the Bitcoin Cash, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this. I do have the original wallet password &amp; seed phrase. I've also transferred the associated Bitcoin to a new address.</p>

<p>According to the <a href="https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Electrum site</a>, I shouldn't install Electrum Cash on the same computer as Electrum. Unfortunately I don't have another computer to work with. I do have an iPhone &amp; a Trezor, but I haven't figured out how to sweep my Electrum address into one of those devices.</p>

<p>What are my options for recovering the Bitcoin Cash without installing Electrum Cash?</p>

If you still have the seed of the electrum wallet, you could setup the trezor using that seed, then use it to send the bcash wherever you want.

# Bitcoin Cash Wallet Recovery

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-08)

I just realized that I have an old Electrum wallet with a small amount of Bitcoin. I'd like to claim the Bitcoin Cash, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this. I do have the original wallet password & seed phrase. I've also transferred the associated Bitcoin to a new address.

According to the [Electrum site](https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt), I shouldn't install Electrum Cash on the same computer as Electrum. Unfortunately I don't have another computer to work with. I do have an iPhone & a Trezor, but I haven't figured out how to sweep my Electrum address into one of those devices.

What are my options for recovering the Bitcoin Cash without installing Electrum Cash?
