    Does a windows 10 reset wipe all emails within outlook?


    I need to rest my windows 10 pc, but I'm concerned that all my old emails will get wiped and I won't be able to retrieve them. I know I can keep personal folders, but will it delete all my emails?

    :)

  3. Does a windows 10 reset wipe all emails within outlook?

    You E-Mails, contacts, appointments and tasks are all held in a .pst or .ost file. You must now do this:

    1. Locate and save these files on an external disk.
    2. Reset Windows.
    3. Re-install Windows & MS Office
    4. Put these files back where they came from.

    If you need further details about steps 1 and 4 then I recommend you ask the experts in an Outlook forum. The current forum is a general Windows forum.

    Does a windows 10 reset wipe all emails within outlook?

    What version of Outlook are you referring to.

    Outlook (as part of Office)

    Outlook web browser.

    Outlook using the Mail app.

    Outlook (part of Office) will indeed be wiped during a reset but if you export to a pst file before hand and save it to an external drive then you can import the emails and folders back into Office Outlook afterwards. In fact you will need to install Office
    after the reset.

    Any program or app not part of Windows 10 will be removed during the reset and will need to reinstalled following a reset.
