I had MS Office 2013 Consumer Preview. I played around with it and setup MS Outlook 2013 just the way I wanted it. Then it stopped working. The MS Outlook 2013 banner would appear like the software was loading then crash. It would automatically try to reload and crash. It continued nonstop and I couldn't get into MS Outlook 2013.



I decided to wait until the full version of MS Outlook 2013 came out and install it over the preview. Hopefully, I wouldn't have to redo everything in Outlook 2013.

I finally purchased the software and when I tried to install, I received an error message saying I couldn't install the software until I uninstalled the preview. I'm afraid I'll lose everything in Outlook 2013 preview if I uninstalled. I also cannot get into the preview and save all the accounts, etc. Is there anything I can do to keep all the email accounts, emails, calendar data, etc from the preview and transfer them to Outlook 2013?

You can safely remove the preview without risk to your data. All the same, you should be making regular backups of your files anyway.
