Using Legacy Segwit Accounts to Maximize Bitcoin Storage
Space
If you have a legacy Segwit account, you can take advantage of the 2MB block size limit to maximize the space your Bitcoin holdings take up.
1. Open a legacy Segwit account on an exchange that still supports Segwit.
2. Deposit your Bitcoin into your legacy Segwit account.

4. Once Segwit is activated, send all of your Bitcoin off of your legacy Segwit account and onto a new, non-Segwit address.

How Legacy Segwit Accounts Can Benefit Bitcoin Users
If you have a legacy Segwit account, you may be able to benefit from Bitcoin Cash.
Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin that was created on August 1st, 2017. As a result, all legacy Segwit accounts are now able to receive and use Bitcoin Cash.
This means that if you have a legacy Segwit account, you can now access the same level of security and privacy that Bitcoin offers, while also enjoying the benefits of Bitcoin Cash.
The Drawbacks of Using a Legacy Segwit Account on Trezor
The main drawback of using a legacy Segwit account on Trezor is that the account will not be able to receive or send Segwit transactions. This means that any funds stored in the account will not be able to be used to purchase or trade Segwit-based tokens. Additionally, if the user wants to move their funds to a new Trezor device, they will need to first create a new Segwit account and transfer their funds from the legacy account.
How to Maximize Bitcoin Storage With a Legacy Segwit Account
The first step is to create a new Segwit address. You can do this by going to the "Receive" tab in your wallet, clicking on the "New Address" button, and entering the address into the field provided.
Next, you'll need to export your private keys. To do this, open your wallet and click on the "Keys" tab. Next, click on the "Export Private Key" button and save the file to a location of your choosing.
Finally, you'll need to import your private keys into a new Segwit address. To do this, open your old Segwit address and click on the "Import Private Key" button. Next, paste your exported private key file into the field provided and hit the "Import" button.
