Bonz,
Hopefully you still have your old PC. If so you will need to:
1. Open Outlook on old PC
2. Export a PST file of your mailbox (or part of mailbox) (preferably onto a flash drive or other device so you can transfer - I like to export to desktop then copy to external drive)
3. Create a new profile on your new PC
4. Import the PST file into your new Outlook profile
All of this of course depends on how you are using Outlook: Pop3, IMAP, or MS Exchange server. If you are using an Exchange server (I do with The Message Center - it's awesome!) you can get your E-mail on any computer or mobile device and it always syncs no matter where you open E-mail.
Hope this helps you accomplish your move to the laptop!
Let me know if you need details on exporting and importing pst files.
