    Transferring Outlook 365 licence to new pc

    Hi All,

    I recently bought a new pc as my old one is dying!
    The first thing I wanted to do was get my email up and running on the new pc so I exported my Outlook (365) data on the old one to a .pst file. So far so good.
    On my new machine I accessed the Office 365 site and opened my account and set it up on my new pc.
    I then imported the .pst file to the new instance of Outlook in the new pc. So far so good.....ish!
    All the email folders and content showed up with the remark "This pc only" in brackets and the Contacts and Calendar appeared is inbox files, also marked "this pc only" in brackets.

    I have since found a site online that says the normal steps are to go to the Office 365 site, sign in, then delete the old pc from the list before setting up the new one and importing the .pst file.

    So my question is what I should do now.

    Should I delete both pcs from the account and start again, or can I simply delete the old one and everything will fall into place?

    Or what?

    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated as I am a bit of a techno-moron/dummy!

    Thanks,
    John

    transferring email files from old pc to new pc

    Alright. I believe what I'd suggest first is to install the logical successor to Windows Mail, which for Windows 7 onward would be the Windows Essentials pack's Mail program. Install it
    from here onto your new Windows 10 computer. This is actually just an updated version of the Windows Vista mail, and it can accept the exported emails from your old PC.

    Once all your emails are into that program, fire up Outlook on the same PC and it can import from it using these steps: Migrate from Outlook Express or Windows (Live) Mail to Outlook - HowTo-Outlook

    transferring email files from old pc to new pc

    How do I transfer my emails from my old pc using windows Vista Windows mail to my new PC using Outlook 2016. I am unable to export from windows mail in a format that outlook on my new pc will recognise. My export options are Microsoft exchange ? or windows
    email? Outlook appears to want a .pst file.
