Can I restore a blockchain.info wallet into a electrum wallet?

3

If I have a blockchain.info wallet, I got the 12 words. Can I use these 12 words to restore into a new Electrum wallet?

After that, will the blockchain wallet still operational? Say, can it still receive funds or spend fund? If fund is received/spent, will it appear in the new Electrum wallet?

On the other hand, if I send fund / receive fund in the new Electrum wallet, will those transaction appear in the blockchain.info wallet?

In Electrum:

  1. Click File > New/Restore, enter a name and click Next.
  2. Select Standard Wallet and then Next.
  3. Select I already have a seed and then Next.
  4. Enter the 12 words seed you got from blockchain.info (from Settings > Security > Backup phrase.
  5. Click the "Options" button and enable BIP39.
  6. Accept the default derivation key and click Next.
  7. In the next step, set a wallet password and enable encryption.

Now you have your wallet imported.

if I send fund / receive fund in the new Electrum wallet, will those transaction appear in the blockchain.info wallet?

Yes, they will.
