Should make a note, this process ONLY works if the original machine and target machine are named the same, otherwise the registry entries will not recognize the previous profile settings.
You can change the name of the registry entries. For example, for O2016 the register folder under Office folder is 16.0 . For O2013 is 15.0 . You could just rename the registry folder and it will work.
It didn't work. I used the exact same process. Apparently you failed to tell us that this process ONLY works if the original machine and target machine are named the same. So, since my new computer wasn't named the same, this little registry trick SCREWED UP my registry and now I don't know what to do to fix it. Thanks.
I'm sorry dude, that sucks. You gotta make sure you do a registry backup before making changes to it though. Hope you can get it figured out man, sorry I can't help you fix it.
Hi, Thanks for the above, i love wiping, my entire windows OS often. How do i do the same for my browser? i find that i have to tweak edge and brave everytime i reinstall my system.
Thanks Brian, Im running office 2007 when I get to the stage after drilling down to office my options are 11.0, 12.0, 8.00 not 15 is one of these options compatible ? Cheers
Is there a way to export/import your contacts view (categories that are color coded) to another user? I have to users that access a 3rd user's contacts. When one of the 2 users categorize the 3rd user's contact view, the other user needs to see the changes. I don't mind syncing them manujall if I have to.
Wow! My computer is totally screwed now. I can't use Outlook at all. I mean at all. You totally hosed me! Why? Why wouldn't you give all the necessary information to us? What am I supposed to do now? Re-install Windows 10 Pro and Office 2016?
hi I follow your instructions. I have two email accounts that I saved but when I did this I only have 1 of the profiles and a default profile now . Please help. I need my other email and get rid of the default. only have done the reg file so far. What have I done wrong when I first open outlook
Putting windows 7 on a PC existing with windows 10 (Some people want to dual boot like this) if you would want to get the windows 10 boot record back you would run recovery for windows 10 right? (I have a recovery USB)
Britec09 So I know you can install windows 10 with windows 7 but when I go to install windows 7 on the same drive as 10 I get something like this "The following disk is of the gpt partition style". I really don't have a spare hard disk and don't have the money to go buy one, is there anything I can do?
Thanks! Solved "Connection refused - Microsoft Exchange" issue before outlook starts in Win10 x64; I deleted my profile from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\
Great video, but what if I reformatted the disc. It was an XP, then I went to a Windows 7, and finally a Windows 10. Then the client asks for Outlook files.
Thank you! Tremendously happy to have found you. I'm moving my wife's Outlook 2007 from her old Win 7 laptop to Outlook 2016 (Office 365 Home shared to her by me) on her new Win 10 machine. I couldn't see clearly enough, what password is it that I will want to have on hand when inputting the old data?
Thumbs down because this requires the other computer to have the exact same .ost files in the exact same locations or you will get the error message "Your Outlook data file cannot be configured".
Are you serious!!!! where was this video 2 days ago!!!!! Was with a customer for 2 hours because of her little quips and this was one of them. Doing the transfer. I figured it out but this video is so coincidental

Ryan Manning Thanks a lot 👍🏼

How do I do it for a differently named machine?
Do you mean the PC name?

You're welcome.
In Office 2016 the reg key is obviously 16 :)
Thank you & keep up the great job!
You're welcome.
It will work if I want to transfer setting on the same computer from Office 2007 to Office 2013?
Thanks Brian,

I believe this is for outlook 2016, right. I am unable to do for outlook 2010 and want to use in 2016, do you have any tutorial on that?

Completely destroyed my PC. Probably have to reinstall everything. Thanx
Can you tell us how to export the password as well, i dont want to type it when i restore the account?

I have dual boot on this machine, once install, just boot to windows 10 and use easybcd to add windows 7 to boot record
Britec09 Alright, I'll try it If I get more problems I'll let you know.
Britec09 So I know you can install windows 10 with windows 7 but when I go to install windows 7 on the same drive as 10 I get something like this "The following disk is of the gpt partition style".

You saved my bacon. Thanks heaps

I did exactly as instructed and now my outlook will not start.
What to do if nobody knows the password, and contacting your provider is problematic.
Thank you a lot.
Thank you! Tremendously happy to have found you.

Oh! PS: liked and subscribed!
Thank you!!
awsome video
Thanks David.
Any chance you can do a tutorial on using Bleachbit to delete to .pst files? LOL!
ThanX!!!!!!
You're welcome!

Obviously it doesnt work in Office 365 - i TRIED profile is in the cloud I think
Is it possible to do it on Mac?
I just googled this exact issue and suddenly found your video in my sub box. Are you spying on me 0_o?
Can I sync from 2016 to 2003?
What do you do for Office 2010? I can't find the profile file.
The Office 2010 profile is at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook.
Are you serious!!!! where was this video 2 days ago!!!!! Was with a customer for 2 hours because of her little quips and this was one of them. Doing the transfer. I figured it out but this video is so coincidental
Sorry about that.
Britec09 Nothing to be sorry about, you make awesome videos
What about MS Outlook 2019
Exactly.
OMG THANK U SO MUCCHHH +SUB. oh w8 i subbed like 3 months ago..nvm

How do I sync Google calendar with Outlook calendar?

Britec09 Thanks, Brian.
