Windows 10: Migrating Outlook from Office 2013 to Office 2016

Hi, is there any way of backing up all email accounts in Outlook 2013 (including username+password) and restoring them in Outlook 2016 without having to manually recreate the accounts? Thanks

:)

 

Windows 7 to 10 and have 2003 Office

Which versions of Microsoft Office work on Windows 10?

The following versions of Microsoft Office with the latest Service Packs have been confirmed to be compatible with Windows 10:

• Office 2016 Preview
• Office 2013/Office 365
• Office 2010
• Office 2007

Older versions of Office such as Office 2003 and Office XP are not certified compatible with Windows 10 but might work using compatibility mode.

You will need to install Windows Mail if you want migrate your Outlook Express data. You should do that before upgrading.

The article

The Mail and Calendar apps on Windows 10 provide a basic, touch-friendly email and calendar application that is great for use with personal email services, and comes free with every Windows 10 device.

Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 also are available for Windows 10 devices, with the purchase of Office 2013, Office 2016, or Office 365. Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 are the leading applications for professional email, calendar, contacts, and task management,

You didn't say what types of accounts they are, but mostly likely there isn't a way, unless there is a third-party tool or these are Exchange accounts.

 

Hi, I have good news. I uninstalled Office 2013 and later installed Office 2016. All Outlook accounts were kept, no need to add them again, including login credentials. First time ever that I upgrade and this happens, with past versions I always had to manually add all email accounts again. (I have all sorts of accounts: POP, IMAP and Exchange). Only some custom settings were lost, like toolbar buttons, custom views, etc.
