Copy the pst to your Documents Folder, if you copy via cd ensure the read
only flag is off.
Open that pst within outlook (FileOpen)
What you do then depends on the version of Oultook used on the old and what
you use on the new PC

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....
