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

John,

Do you want to migrate your calendar entries from Win 10 Calendar App "App" to Outlook Calendar "Calendar"? Which version of Outlook are you migrating from and then to? Check Note 2 in my Reply to Caspersozza. Do not share personal information like Usernames.

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.

So you want to migrate your calendar entries from Win 10 Calendar App "App" to Outlook Calendar "Calendar"? If so, then in App, select Settings -> Manage Accounts and record the Account information listed there. Switch App toggle to Calendar then select View -> Calendar Settings -> Accounts-> Manage (under Add Account)[1]. Does your Account in Calendar match that from App? Then select Import settings from Outlook for Windows. This should work. This is so easy but who knew what to do. Microsoft should have provided migration information.

Notes:

 [1]  Or you could just select Settings on the top menu

 [2]  Check Win 10 Settings -> Accounts -> Manage my Microsoft account. What is it? Does it match the above calendar Accounts? Without using an email calendar account, you are using your Microsoft account to store the calendar entries. Once you inform Outlook of your Account, it should retrieve your calendar entries from the App.

Jules,

How did you share the calendars, exactly? I've migrated from an older version of Outlook to this latest garbage, and my backup files don't appear to work, etc. Apparently, the backups for calendar don't backup unless it's on the web, and we don't do that here.

Thanks

Here is what worked for me.

"Subject: Migration from Win 10 Calendar App to Outlook Calendar 2024

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."

Have you migrated your btinternet.com calendar to the Win 10 Calendar "App": Version 16005.14326218540?

If not, then:

My email providers, @outlook, @gmail, and @yahoo, all have a calendar App available for my use if I want to use it. Does your email provider have a calendar App available for your use? If not, then what is your calendar App?

If so, then you need to check Settings for an Export, Sync, or Sharing feature which will allow you to populate Outlook with your calendar entries. I am not familiar with your email provider so I can no longer advise you on this matter. Best of luck. Let the Community know what worked for you.

ps. If you can export your calendar to one of the more popular email providers you should be able to migrate your calendar from its calendar.

Import and export Outlook email, contacts, and calendar

The calendar I have created in the Windows mail app dopes not appear to be synced with my BTinternet email account (which transfers fine to the new Outlook). It exists purely in the Windows Mail app. But there must be some way to export it - not that I can find one.
