Close Outlook on the old machine. Find, and copy the pst file onto your
transfer medium.
On the new machine, copy the pst file onto your HDD. Do NOT overwrite the
existing one. Remove any Read-Only attribute.
Then open Outlook, and do File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate to where
you copied it to.
You then have two choices: either drag and drop the data from the old file
to the new, or designate the old file as your mail delivery location.
(Control Panel-mail). Do NOT use the import and export function - that is
only designed to transfer Outlook data to third-party formats, and not to
transfer data between instances of outlook.
