Install the latest version of Bitcoin Core, [Bitcoin Core 0.17.0](https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.17.0/). The wallet format has not changed significantly and the software always maintains compatibility with older wallets, so your wallet should work in 0.17.0. You will still need to wait as there will be a database upgrade that takes place and it will need to finish syncing the blockchain.

0.17.0 can be installed on top of your existing installation. It will not delete any of your data. Your wallet does not need to be moved. However, as always, you should always have a backup of your wallet on hand.

If you cannot wait for that, then you can export the private keys for your addresses and import them into another wallet such as Electrum. You can do this by using the `dumpprivkey <address>` command in the Debug Console. `<address>` is the address that you want the private key for.
