Outlook does not have or use an address book. Start by telling us what you
actually did. Read the countless posts here on how to transfer Outlook data.

I went to file then import export and managed to import my names and email
addresses from there. Thanks for helping anyway.

For future reference import/export is NOT the way to move data from one
Outlook to another.

Why?

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.
