Hi Ashok,

Quick note: There is no Windows 2010 or 2011. You had Windows 10 before, and your new HP has Windows 11.

Outlook 2007 is long out of support and it is not reliable or secure on Windows 11.

Microsoft no longer provides a legitimate download, and even if you managed to install it, it usually cannot sign in to modern email services on Windows 11 due to outdated security and authentication.

The supported path is to move your old mail into a current Outlook version. Install Microsoft 365 Apps or Office 2021 on the new laptop so you get the current Outlook.

• On your old PC, open File Explorer and copy your Outlook data file. Most users find it in Documents\Outlook Files\ and it ends with .pst. If it is not there, check C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ for .pst files. Move that .pst to the new laptop using a USB drive or OneDrive.
• On the new laptop, open Outlook, go to File > Open and Export > Import or Export > Import from another program or file > Outlook Data File .pst, then pick the .pst you copied and finish the wizard. After the import, add your email account in Outlook on the same File page using Account Settings so new mail continues to arrive.

If you want, I can write the exact click by click for your scenario and help you pick between Microsoft 365 and Office 2021.
