What operating system are you using? Windows 10

Additional Information:
My Brave wallet bitcoin deposit address has changed. Why, and is my old address still valid?
Here is the history:
On January 22, 2025, I deposited .001 bitcoin to my Brave wallet. Deposit address was
bc1qw6vzhtf0vwkn59klnfanaf5eh8hym3ph40e83e .
On February 20, I noticed that my Bitcoin address changed to
bc1qd9dvuq7vfs0r565y75rd0vvf0v4gzsjdu4p0v5 .
I did a wallet restore during this time. Would that explain why my address changed? I do mining, and can not always check to make sure that my address does not change.
