I recently upgraded my workstation to a new computer running Windows 10 Pro.\u00a0 I needed to move over my Outlook 2016 email accounts and calendars to the new location.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a very easy process.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install Office 2013 or 2016 on the new computer.<\/li>\n
  2. Run windows updates<\/li>\n
  3. Make sure both computers are not currently in Outlook<\/li>\n
  4. Copy the entire outlook data folder to your new computer.\u00a0 I am not providing directions for this.\u00a0 You should know what your doing here (or use google).<\/li>\n
  5. Now you will have a copy of outlook data (PST’s) in both locations.<\/li>\n
  6. Copy over any internet shared calendars<\/strong> from your old machine to the new machine.\u00a0 File location is here, and it would be sitting in the root if it exists:\n
      \n
    1. C:\\Users\\{username}\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\Outlook<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. On your old machine run REGEDIT.\u00a0 EXPORT this entire key which contains all your email account settings.<\/strong>\n
        \n
      1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\16.0\\Outlook\\Profiles\\Outlook<\/li>\n
      2. Note: If you are on a different version of outlook the version 16.0 will be a different number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Copy that REG file to your new PC and double click and let it insert it into the registry<\/li>\n
      4. Move over any signatures<\/strong> from your old computer to your new computer.\u00a0 Those are located here:\n
          \n
        1. C:\\Users\\{username}\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Signatures<\/li>\n
        2. Note: You probably should just copy the entire folder and paste it in the same place on your new PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        3. Launch Outlook on the new PC.\u00a0 Pick your profile and set as default<\/strong>.\u00a0 Then go update each accounts’ passwords<\/strong>.\u00a0 Once you update the passwords you will be able to resume doing email exactly as you were doing it on the old PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
