I know the address's private key, downloaded the Bitcoin core, what are the further instructions for entering the wallet?
I can't seem to find the complete entry instructions. Please help step by step...

You can import the address's private key into the new wallet. This is done through the wallet console.

Open the console and import the private key into the wallet with the importprivkey command. Only if there is a password on the wallet, then first it must be unlocked with the walletpassphrase command.
If you need examples of using these commands, you can look here . And a lot of questions about working in the console have already been sorted out in the thread on Bitcoin Core . The main thing is not to send your private key to anyone, otherwise a lot of "helpers" usually immediately flock to such requests, it's better to do everything yourself. And before any action, make backups.
