Windows 10: Transition from Outllook/Office 2007

Hello!

I use an old Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional and Outlook 2007/Office 2007.

I also have a current Apple laptop and use gmail and Outlook 365 for work (two different jobs - two different email systems). I am familiar with all three. I also use Office 365.

I prefer my locally-based Outlook 2007 to browser-based gmail and Outlook 365. I like the way the 2007 platform is organized, the search capabilities and the functionality. I like the fact the email is local and not browser-based. I do not care about auto-internet synching on different devices for this particular email. I also like the Outlook 2007 calendar and contacts. My Outlook 2007 preference is not driven by privacy concerns (although i try to avoid gmail because I don't appreciate their scanning of our emails to serve up ads), I just appreciate the reliability and searchability of all emails locally on my PC.

My PC is getting old and I will need to upgrade to a machine with Windows 10. Can anyone recommend an email client that might give me the feel of Outlook 2007? I think I would prefer a non-browser based email system, but I would be open to a browser-based system too.

Or does anyone know if I could continue to use Outlook 2007 on the new Windows 10 machine?

Frankly, i also like working locally on Office 2007 (instead of in Office 365 and the cloud).

I know I sound like an old dog refusing to learn the new tricks but I feel I have used Gmail and 365 (for at least 5 years) and I just don't like either one as well.

Thanks in advance!

Lisa

Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

This is my list of installed Office 2007 updates [Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates]



- I have installed Office 2007 Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Access.
- If you have installed other Office 2007 components you will find others shown in your own list of installed updates [once you are fully up to date].

I suggest saving copies of each one now in case they are ever removed from the MS update catalog downloads lists.
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...?q=Office+2007
- Just download the updates shown in your own list of installed updates rather than the whole list provided by the MS update catalog because the catalog includes ones that were subsequently superceded by others.
- SP3, which was a major update that established a new beginning for Office 2007 and upon which all further updates were based, is also described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2526086 and the article also provides a download link for it
- If I reinstall Office, I work through the updates list in KB numerical order starting with SP3
