Windows 10: Windows 10 Home / Microsoft 365 Pro - Cannot install Outlook 2010

Hello, I would prefer to have my default email as Outlook. I have it set as the default but keep getting an error message that "Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened, The file C:\Users\Carin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\microsoft exchange.ost is not an Outlook data file." and "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete action."

Any ideas how to correct?

Thanks Carin

Office 365 and Outlook 2010

I recently purchased 365 Home for 1 user- multiple devices. When installed on first PC I was no longer able to open Outlook 2010. Dialog said unable to find data file. Contacted MS office support and a great tech helped me get outlook organized on 365 so
I had all email accounts separate, but contacts all in 1 file. This was why I purchased 365- to not have 3 different contacts on 3 different PCs.

However, I am still unable to open Outlook 2010 on that PC. I guess I could reinstall it if I want the local version?

My question is this. Do I need to install Office 365 on my other PCs? I seem to get into it from them without additional installs. If I do install it, will it destroy Outlook 2010 on them too? Office 2010 and Outlook 2010 are on all PCs now.

Can I create an icon in task bar to open Office 365?

Thanks

 

Outlook 2010 Not Responding with Windows 10


I have Office 2010 Pro. Installed Windows 10 a couple of days ago and most of my apps seem to be working fine. However, Outlook 2010 loads very slowly, and while I am typing a 10 line email it may stop 3 or 4 times and the top says Outlook not responding. I've run Task Manager along side to see if I can catch another program taking CPU cycles, but have not seen anything major. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
