To use a private key, the first step is to download a wallet that supports private key recovery. One such wallet is Electrum.

Click on the import option and you will be prompted to enter your private key. This key is crucial as it grants access to your wallet and the funds stored within.

Carefully enter your private key into the prompt. Be sure to double-check for any errors, as a single incorrect character can prevent you from accessing your wallet.

After entering your private key, the wallet will begin to synchronize with the blockchain. This process can take some time, depending on the size of the blockchain and the speed of your internet connection.
