To export your Outlook Calendar from an old computer to a new one, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate your old Outlook data file: Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where your Outlook files are stored. This is usually found in:
   • C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\Outlook Files\
   • or C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ Look for files with a .pst extension, as these files contain your emails, contacts, and calendar.
2. Copy the PST file: Right-click on the PST file and select "Copy." Then, paste it into a location on your new computer where you can easily find it, such as the Documents folder.
3. Open the PST file in Outlook on your new computer: Launch Outlook (make sure it's the desktop version, not the browser version). Go to File > Open & Export > Open Outlook Data File, and select the copied PST file. This will add your old calendar and other items to your current Outlook profile.
4. (Optional) Import into your current profile: If you want to merge the data into your current Outlook profile, you can go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export, and choose to import from another program or file, selecting the PST file.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully export and access your Outlook Calendar from your old computer on your new one.
