How do I move an archive PST file from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2016? Outlook stores all your data (including email messages, calendars, contacts and tasks, etc) in a Personal Folders (.PST) file. In this tutorial we’ll walk you through the steps to transfer Outlook PST data files to another computer.<\/p>\n

Part 1: Backup Outlook PST Data Files<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow these steps to find where your Outlook PST files are stored and backup them to external USB drive.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. In the Mail Setup window, click on the the Data Files<\/strong> button.\n

  3. Once there, you can see your PST files for all email accounts that were set up in the Outlook application. Choose a PST file and click on the Open Folder<\/strong> button.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. This will open the folder where your selected Outlook Data file (.pst) is saved, and you can then copy the PST file to external USB drive. If Outlook doesn’t store all your PST files in the same location, repeat the above step to locate other PST files and backup them as well.\n
