Need to backup my free outlook.live calendar from windows 10 to pst.. Classic is no longer available.

Question

How can I backup my Windows 10 outlook.live calendar? I have Windows 10. I use the free version of the outlook.live calendar. I need to export the calendar to a pst to back it up. I am retired and only need access to my calendar for appointments and past meetings. So I don't need Microsoft 365 but it says I have to subscribe to MS 365 in order to export anything. I tried to switch to the classic version to export for free, but the classic version doesn't exist anymore. How can I backup my calendar?

Answer 1

If you are unable to use Classic Outlook to export your outlook.live calendar as a PST, an alternative is to export it as an ICS file.

Using New Outlook for Windows

View -> View Settings -> Calendar -> Shared calendars - Publish a calendar.
Select one of (or the only) Calendar for your account.

Select permissions = Can view all details.
[Publish]

You should now see two long URLs. Click the "ICS" one and -> Download

This should open a browser window and download and ICS file to your PC.

This ICS file is a snapshot of your current Calendar and can be imported into New Outlook or Classic Outlook.

You can download and install classic Outlook from the Microsoft store.
