While companies and business owners can always opt for the Windows 7 Extended Support for Business, this too is nothing more but a temporary measure. Of course, moving to a new OS is not without any drawbacks, since users may want to take some of their personal files or folders with them during the transition. For example, a lot of users are wondering if it is possible to move your Outlook contacts from Windows 7 to Windows 10. While the short answer is yes, we’ve decided to create this step-by-step guide to show you just how it is done.
How do I export contacts from Windows 7 to Windows 10?
The first thing you need to understand is that if you are running Outlook on Windows 7 you were probably using an older version of Outlook. Unfortunately, there is no way to migrate contacts directly from one client to another. Fortunately enough, one workaround is exporting your entire contact list as a CSV file, and then importing it into the Outlook client of your Windows 10 PC. The advantage of this method is that regardless of the version of Outlook you are using, CSV files are universally supported, even by the web version. As such, this is how you export Outlook contacts from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
