user26994: Some people are saying Bitcoin XT is faster and more secure, but I don't know how to migrate from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin XT, because I have all my coins on Bitcoin Core.
What are the steps I need to perform to safely migrate from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin XT?

user18196: The two clients are based off of the same code base. To use Bitcoin-XT, you only need to make sure your Bitcoin Core client is shut off when you start the Bitcoin-XT client. The two programs use the same data directory and wallets, so all your coins will still be there.
See "Should I be running Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin-XT?" for more info regarding the differences between the two software packages.
In the README.md of Bitcoin-XT, it even says:

XT uses the same data directories as Core so you can easily switch back and forth.
