If you’re used to working in Windows Outlook, but want to switch to Outlook 2011 for Mac, don’t worry — Microsoft makes it easy to switch over. Outlook 2011 is the first Outlook version to take advantage of the new Outlook Identity format. Before starting this process, make a note of the account settings in Outlook for Windows. In Outlook 2010 for Windows, choose File→Info→Account Settings.
If you’re using a version of Outlook for Windows older than Outlook 2010, check Outlook Help for instructions for making an Outlook data file (.pst).
Jan 27, 2020 On your new Mac: Open Migration Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Click Continue. When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup or startup disk. Apr 03, 2020 I updated a MacBook AIr to the'Catallina' OS. The old Microsoft Office 2011 would not work or be updated on this platform. So I got the MS Office 365 apps down loaded using a 365 family license on another computer. I bought a new mac and would like to transfer the office 2011 product from my old mac to my new mac. I used Mac's migration assistant to migrate all my files and content from my time machine backup to my new mac. When I tried to launch Excel in my new mac, it asked for the product key.
Saving an Outlook for data file
You can migrate your Windows Outlook Identity by making an Outlook data file (.pst) in Outlook for Windows and then importing the .pst file into Outlook 2011 for Mac. Here’s how to save your Outlook data file in Outlook 2010 for Windows.
In Outlook 2010 for Windows, choose File→Options→Advanced→Export and then click the Export button.
The Import and Export wizard displays. If you don’t see the wizard, try minimizing the visible window, because the wizard may display behind the current window.
Select Export to a File and then click the Next button.
Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and then click the Next button.
The Select a Folder to Export From dialog displays with the proper folder selected and the Include Subfolders check box selected.
Click the Next button.
Give your file a name (be sure to use .pst as the file extension) and then click the Browse button to choose a file location. Note its location and then click the Finish button.
Outlook asks whether you want to give your file a password.
Leave the Password fields blank and then click OK.
If you click the Cancel button, Outlook not only cancels adding a password, it cancels making your (.pst) file, and you’ll have to start over in frustration.
Outlook prepares the data file, which you should copy or move to your Mac using a method of your choice. (DVD, USB drive, SkyDrive, and SharePoint are but four of many possible transfer methods.)
