Windows 10: Migrating Outlook e-mail to a laptop.

I have a couple of Windows 10 Pro Desktops. One I need to install another motherboard and the second one all of sudden after a long time of use stopped recognizing my bios and Windows 10 admin password (which are the same).

I recently purchased a Windows 10 "Home" laptop that I'm using instead until the Windows 10 Desktops can be fixed.

I want to install Outlook via MS Office onto the Windows 10 "Home" laptop, but am uncertain how to migrate Outlook from the Windows 10 Desktop that I'm not able to log in to. The Windows 10 Desktop running an installed Outlook from MS Office 2016.

With past older versions of Outlook and MS Office I use to simply copy the pst file folder to the new PC and then point outlook to the copied pst file and folder.

I may be installing Outlook from MS Office 2010 on the laptop instead of from MS Office 2016 since I have five unused user licenses for MS Office 2010.

So can I just copy outlooks data folder from the Windows 10 Desktop's hard drive (should be able to access via a USB external hd enclosure) to the Windows 10 "Home" Laptop's hard drive? Then load Outlook's e-mail data folder from Outlook 2010 installed on the laptop?

Or do I need to perform some converting of the data folder for versions for Outlook 2016 to version 2010?

Activation of Outlook E-Mail Program

I followed all the steps in the 'Settings' for Outlook e-mail, starting with the procedure for enabling the POP function. I pressed the 'OK' button, and the site returned me to the 'Accounts Listed' page, where the new acct. I was trying to create, once
again, did not appear. Subsequent test messages that I produced, and sent, were again received by my other two e-mail programs, but NOT by the Outlook e-mail site.

 

Importing Outlook Express E-mail

What I have done in the past is to put the HDD in a USB Box then search it for *.dbx files and save to another location for safety. I also get the *.wab file that is the Windows Address Book. Haven't tried Win10's Contacts yet for importing that .wab file. Some E-Mail Clients can import the messages from the .dbx files.

I have also installed OE Classic, worked on Win8.1 and the Tech Preview of Win10, looks quite a bit like Outlook Express. Since [hate to say it] older folks are involved that may be a way to go.
