Paul,

Thanks so much! As I thought about it after posting, I thought the same thing. Just copy the files over to the new computer and let Office 365 do its thing.

To confirm: Copy files from old computer to new computer BEFORE installing Office 365 on the new computer?? Or AFTER??? Does it make a difference to my process??


I am not worried so much about the Word and Excel files...they are in Documents. I am concerned about doing the pst files correctly.

Another quick question: What is the difference between a pst file in these 2 directories?
- username\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook
- username\documents\outlook files

When I searched for *.pst, there were many in these 2 directories. However, only 5 that were modified today. outlook.pst and archive1.pst were in documents directory and 3 others that use the name of my 3 email addresses were in the appdata directory.

I assume I only need to copy these 5 pst files since they were modified today, and all the older ones are no longer in use.

Thanks again!!!
