How do I migrate my calendar events to the new Outlook from Windows 10 calendar?

Thanks Joules.

BTinternet has a calendar app but I've never used it.

My calendar app is the one in the Win 10 Windows Mail app. I created it in that app, and it appears to have no export feature. There is a sync feature, but that doesn't do anything.

There must be a way of getting data from one Windows calendar to another.

OK, so you have Win 10 Calendar "App": Version 16005.14326218540 like me. You want to migrate your calendar(s) to Outlook "Outlook": Version 1.2024.403.300 (Production), Client Version is 20240329006.14 like me. Is this what you want to do?

If so, can you answer these questions?

1. How many calendars do you have to migrate?
2. Who is/are your email provider(s); e.g., @outlook, @gmail, @yahoo, etc.? Do not provide personal information like your Username(s).

The idea is to connect your calendars for your email accounts now shown in App to Outlook to show the entries there automatically without manual entry.

ps. Outlook version is found at Settings -> General -> About Outlook

Hello Joules, I did pretty much the same thing except I found all of my Windows Calendar events had been shared with my GMAIL (not Outlook) calendar. I did export that calendar to my windows "My Documents" folder in the form of an .ics file. When I then later allowed the new Outlook calendar to install, it apparently found all those events this time and had them in place without me having to manually import them.

Still I went back to Windows calendar because I like it's look, as I have it set up, better. In the Outlook calendar I got rid of the 'calendar pane' and the 'events pane' because they made things look too busy for my tastes. Yet when I closed out of Outlook calendar and later opened it, it had those two panes showing again by default. If they ever fix that I may remain with Outlook next time they push it on me, but not until I have to. Microsoft's techs obviously do not think like we do, or do not care, until we let them know whassup!? ;-)

Here is what worked for me.

Update: Solved problem myself by sharing calendars from Outlook email accounts in Win 10 Calendar App. No Export/Import of entries is required as suggested by Independent Advisor, shollybee, in Microsoft Community. Those Advisor instructions sent me on a wild goose chase wasting much of my time because no Export feature is available. The lesson learned is to be careful whom you choose for advice!"

Outlook Calendar is worth switching (forced in 2024) from the Win 10 Calendar App, but Outlook Calendar does have bugs that I discovered and reported; i.e., "Outlook Calendar Agenda Pane Problem."

How to copy/synchronize entries from Calendar to Outlook Calendar? I have many past, present, and future calendar entries to copy to Outlook Calendar before I abandon Calendar.

The following is displayed from Manage Accounts in the Win 10 Calendar App Version 16005.14326.21854.0.

There is no Settings and sharing to click on Export calendar.

To export your calendar from Windows 10 Calendar, you can follow these steps:

• Open the Calendar app and click on the gear icon at the bottom left corner.
• Click on Manage Accounts and select the account that you want to export.
• Click on Settings and sharing and then click on Export calendar.
• Save the zip file to your computer and extract it. You should see an .ics file inside.

Please, how to Synchronize, Export/Import, or Copy existing Win 10 Calendar App entries to Outlook Calendar?
