    how to add contact to new mail in w10

    My issue is with W10 new mail. Transferring contacts and (if possible) mail messages from old live mail.

    I don't understand the People App?

    I cannot see any steps to take me to a contact list on the new mail pages.

    I have tried saving from old contacts list , but how to import them?

    the references given don't seem to line up with mu window in mail.

    Then how to import G-mail address list?

    How to Make W10 Search Behave like W7 Search?

    I have to say, while I am enjoying W10, the search function is pretty weak, unless I just don't know how to do it correctly.

    In W7 search, I could enter a term or phrase and it would search my entire computer, including emails in Outlook, and come up with a list of all the files it found in one dialog box. I could scroll thru all the files to see if what i was looking for was
    there. It worked very well.

    In W10, when I search Windows in the box on the Taskbar, I get a pop-up box that looks like a W7 start menu and it generally lists a few items, including Best Match, a File Folder and a couple of individual files. Once in a while I can scroll the window
    up and down to see an additional file. But most of the time, the search only results in 5 or 6 hits being shown in this pop-up box.

    So my question, how do I get a search similar to what W7 provided? I need search to work as I have a lot if information on my computer that I need to look for at times.

    If there is no way to get search to pull up and display ALL results that match my inquiry, does anyone recommend any third party search programs that are reliable? Years ago I used Copernic Google Search. Google Search is gone. And when I went to the Copernic
    web site, I couldn't tell if it was still a viable supported program. Also, I left Copernic for W7 search because it was so much better.

    So any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    How do I initiate a search in W10?


    I just upgraded to W10 from W8.1. How do I start a search (say for a text file containing the word <butter>)? In W8.1 I would press the Windows start button and the letter "f" (for Find).

    I have a dozen questions like this; is there a file I can consult that lists answers to common ones? Thanks. ...
