Transfer to new PC

[Walter Seaton]

I have an old cloiker of a PC still running on Windows 2000.

I now have a new one running Windows XP Professional.

I have external drives to perform a transfer from one machine to the other,
but where are the Outlook files located and are there any special things I
need to do? The new PC is running MS Office.

Thank you

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
