    Hi folks

    in the latest version of Windows simply export this .reg file and re-import to new computer / old one after a restore. I'm also using latest version of OUTLOOK 2019.

    Use this if you aren't migrating from .pst files as 2016 and 2019 use .ost stuff which is different (although they can open old .pst files

    here's the key you should use now for reg key export -- the old one in the NT file doesn't exist any more.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles

    import that into the new machine, restart / start outlook select the profile, restart outlook and eneter passwords for the accounts.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    Office 2019

    Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

    Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

    Spoiler Office 2019
    Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

    • Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
    • Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
      • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
      • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
    • The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

    copy outlook settings, accounts, contacts etc from 2010 to 2016/2019

    Hi folks
    Easy way to copy your whole kybosh from Outlook 2010 to Outlook 2016/2019 on another computer.

    Simply using the export facility just copies the mail items - the reg method copies everything (except passwords which you will have to re-enter).

    (On the same computer you don't need to do anything - just install Office 2016/2019 BEFORE uninstalling Office 2010 - then you can uninstall Office 2010 although Office 2010 and Office 2019 at least will both run (Outlook won't run concurrently though whereas EXCEL etc will).

    Ms don't make this very user friendly though - and you will need to remember your passwords on your accounts. This also copies all the emails in entirety - IMAP no problem.

    so
    1) Copy from documents Outlook files folder to external device
    2) on New computer install Office 2016/2019 but don't open OUTLOOK.
    3) Open one of the products say EXCEL, accept license agreement and activate the product.
    4) check for any updates and apply - also add any language packs if you use Outlook in different languages.
    5) folders can be translated to desired language if you run the following from Win+R command : outlook.exe /resetfolders.
    6) on OLD computer start REGEDIT and copy following file to external device

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

    7) on new computer copy outlook files folder to documents

    8) double click on the reg file you copied from the old computer

    9) you'll be asked to enter the passwords for each of the accounts

    10) job done --start outlook 2019 and all your accounts etc will be in place -- also avoids using those horrible simplified screens for manually setting up the accounts.

    Note this method also works for copying profiles of 2016/2019 to new computer

    In this case use registry file HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles

    If all else fails

    don't uninstall Office 2010 on old computer -- install Office 2019 on old computer BUT DON'T activate on old computer -- just copy the reg file (the 2019 one) after installing Office 2019. If you still want to use the old computer uninstall Office 2019 again.

    Now import that on to new computer

    Again job done

    Can't say if this works when transferring to Office 365 as I don't have it but I would assume that it does work though as people keep the same email accounts I assume.

    Why Ms make this such a hideous palava to copy profiles / accounts etc to a new machine --- next question please !!!!

    If totally hosed up - install both Outlook 2010 and 2019 on new computer -- copy the outlook 2010 profile to the new computer from the old one plus the outlook folder in documents.
    Don't activate office 2010. After copying the profile start up outlook 2019, enter passwords then unistall Office 2010.

    Cheers

    copy outlook account info and folders to new machine (office 2019)

    Outlook 2019 -- copy IMAP mail to offline / local folder

    Hi folks

    those of you with NEW installs of Outlook 2019 and using IMAP --i.e no upgrade from previous versions or using a brand new Windows install will probably find Archive or export to file doesn't function as a .pst file doesn't exist.

    The best thing to do is to create one and then you can copy email to off line. or local folder(s) simply open the .pst file in outlook and copy / move email / folders at will. You can then close it so it won't normally appear in the list. Just open the .pst file from within outlook and do your copy / move etc. Note Outlook uses these days an .ost file - no .pst files by default -- however if you did an UPGRADE from an earlier version of office you'll probably have a .pst file which you can open and use.

    To backup accounts (the settings etc) etc --simply use the registry export mechanism : (This also works for 2019). You need to remember passwords though.
