Windows 10: Transfer emails and contacts from my old Windows 7 pc using Live Mail to a new Windows 10 pc

I am in the process of setting up a new pc with Windows 10. My old one uses Live Mail in Windows 7. How do I transfer (i.e., export/import) emails and contacts from my old pc to the new one? Is this process different depending on the email app used on the new Windows 10 pc?

How can I transfer contacts from Win Live Mail in Win 7 on old PC to Windows People mail in Window 10 in a 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

 

Win Live Mail lost some contacts


Desktop PC,Win 10,FF primary,IE secondary. I used Outlook mail on my XP laptop and liked it. When I got this PC I could not use Outlook and went to Live Mail. I do not find it to be user friendly like the old Outlook. Today I went to send an email and found about half of my contacts were missing and cant seem to recover them. I would like to download the free Outlook Mail and move my old emails over and create a single contact list that can be edited. Currently I have several different contact lists some of which can be edited and some not. When finished I would like to delete the old lists and Live Mail. Can this be done and how?
