I have 2 msn.com email accounts for years and need my old emails and contacts and folder in my email. I use a laptop with Windows 10 and a desktop version of office not a subscription.

According to Microsoft: "Beginning in 2024, Windows 11 devices will be shipped with the new Outlook for Windows as the default mailbox application free for all to use. Starting in June 2023, we are beginning the process of migrating existing Windows Mail, Calendar, and People users to the new Outlook for Windows."

Does this mean I may lose my old emails and contacts and email folders in migration. How can I prevent or save for easy access?

Thanks for info. I am not very tech smart.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Files, folders, and storage

    Hi, I'm Elise, a fellow user like yourself and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    No this will all happen automatically for you, it is basically just merging these separate apps into one.

    You won’t need to do anything it will just download automatically for you.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Kind Regards,

    Elise
