OK thanks for the warning, lets say I copy the new pst file to the
desktop [just for convenience] do I still do the import pst file using
the import wizard and will this update the original pst file in
username\ application data\microsoft \outlook ? as this is what we
want - everything default .

again thanks for your assistance.

Thank to you both for the links, have read through and now a
question, would it be OK to simply rename the pst file on the
new machine and then copy the old one [the one we want] into the
same location as the new file , then open Outlook and choose file
Open Data File


NO NO NO! Do NOT paste the file in the default location. Put it somewhere
else....
