Office 2010 32 bit to 64 bit upgrade

I need to upgrade a fairly complicated outlook 2007 installation configured with many rules and email accounts to office 2010 64 bit. I dont care about any other office application settings.
Its an easy upgrade from 2007 to 32 bit 2010 from what I've seen but I need to upgrade to the 64 bit version of 2010.
I need to backup the rules and email accounts, and its very important I don't lose any accounts or rules. Manually inputting the accounts is of course the absolute last resort.
When exporting 2007 email account from 1 pc to another, I can export a registry tree that contained email accounts. Is the procedure in 2010 similar?
And does anyone know why ms got rid of the save settings wizard with 2007 and 2010??

Hello Partner,
 
Thank you for posting here! This is Dorothy. We will work together on this issue.
 
From your post, I understand that you would like to know how to transfer user's Outlook profile settings between two clients with Outlook 2010 installed. If there has been any misunderstanding, please let me know.
 
As far as I know, all Outlook mail clients save the account settings at the following registry branch:
 
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
 
Therefore, this registry branch is also available for Outlook 2010 clients. If you would like to transfer the Outlook 2010 profile settings between different workstations, we can consider to export and import the above registry branches to achieve your objective.
 
However, please note the above method is not a recommended way as it may cause unexpected compatibility issue. Hence, if the Outlook profile cannot work properly after migration, it is recommended to create a new Outlook profile on the migrated workstation.
 
If anything is unclear, please feel free to post back into the Partner Online Technical Community. I am standing by for your update.
