I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 using Windows Easy Transfer. Had Outlook Express (lots of mail history in folders and lots of contacts) before upgrade to 7.
Installed Windows Live Mail and used WLM import but very few and only the oldest messages came through, no others or contacts come through with import.
I have Office 2010 installed and now think Outlook 2010 is better for my needs anyway.
In addition to the WET file I have a "spare" back up file (.bck) from before the migration stored separately on a pocket drive.
I'm no techie but with some guidance I hope I can use Outlook and see my mail and contacts (incredibly important). Need some advice before I try something and ruin my chances. What steps do I need to take now?
