....just be sure not to copy it to the default location. If you do, you'll
probably overwrite the PST file that Outlook has already created and corrupt
your profile.

Export the Personal Folder as a .pst file from the old pc, then Import into
the new pc. Be certain to include all subfolder to get the calendar and
contacts info.

Bad advice.
Importing and exporting are a good way to lose data and/or corrupt profiles.
Use this method only to export to a different file format, not to transfer
Outlook data.

I agree. Don't import the PST, simply add it to the properties of Outlook so
that the user can see it.

Export the Personal Folder as a .pst file from the old pc,

No. Never export or import a pst for use in another Outlook.
