Transfer Contacts from Win7 to Win10
My compuiter was running "Windows Live Mail" under Win7 quite(?) happily. Then Microsoft persuaded me to upgrade to Win10, which aslo ran quite(?) happily until last December.Then things went pear-shaped. The upshot was, I went out & bought a new computer, running Win10.
I cannot get "Windows Live Mail" - it is "obsolete" and unobtainable. So as I have Outlook, I have started to use that.
BUT... I had saved onto an external drive the entire "Users" folder. So I can SEE all my old e-mails, in their correct folders, and if I click on one of the *.eml files I can read it in NotePad.
Is there any way I can transfer them to, say, Outlook ?
I omitted to export my AddressBook. I have searched and searched, and eventually came to the conclusion that all my "Contacts" are in K:\20180214 WinX\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Contacts\Default\15.5\DBStore\contacts.edbBut HOW do I get them out of there ? The file is not an ASCII file, i.e. I cannot use NotePad.Yes, it "would be nice" to simply export the file directly into, say, Outlook, but MicroSoft hasn't made that possible.What other program can read such a file ?
