Getting a new laptop and need to transfer Outlook and all my old e-mails over.
Is it just a case of cutting/copying all Office and Outlook files over? Or is there something more to it than that?
Thanks in advance.
pst file?
i just use File>import/export>export to a file>.pst file then copy them across to the new machine
Windows dose have a wizard for migration but i didn't use it for a reason that escapes me now
how about the fact that it is dead slow?
the import/export wizard is the way to go, you will need to do it for inbox, calendar, contacts and tasks.
Thanks for the tips.
Do I have to load the Outlook CD onto my new laptop first, or can I just transfer the whole lot from the old laptop to the new one?
you'll need to install outlook first
how'd you get on at chicky mike?
OK, thanks. I'll have to dig the disk out.
Chicky was a blast. First 2 motos, I crashed while in second place, so ended up with two 3rds. Had to sit out motos 3 and 4 cos my had was swollen and couldn't grip the bars. Rode the B-final and got first place.
nice one, sounds like fun
Mike, there is a special utility in Windows specifically to help you move data across to a new PC in the right format and dump it in the right place. Even includes settings, and you can use a memory stick if you have one big enough. I used it recently. Can't remember exactly where is is but if you go to Windows or Outlook help and put in something like "transfer data" you will find it
