Moving Outlook 2010 from one machine to another - Tool?

March 8, 2015 4:35 PM

I know how to move the pst files and where to find them. I know about the NK2 files and how to migrate them through versions. By hand. But . . . Is there a reliable tool that allows me to backup all the account information which is stored in the registry, together with all pst files and everything else? I install a program on Win 7 machine A running Outlook 2010 and then move a bunch of files to Win 7 machine B, run a command and when I start Outlook 2010 everything just works.

I am looking at BackRex, the demo version looks promising, but I would like to hear from someone who got tired of the manual way and has found a good tool to ease the pain.

I know that the account settings are in the registry and one could export the corresponding parts and then import then.

Best answer: I use - the already installed - Windows Easy Transfer . . . it transfers the entirety of Outlook to a new profile on the same, or different machine. I've used it dozens of times.
