Move contacts to windows live email

I am upgrading my parents computer from XP to Win 7 (new computer) and must switch to Windows live for e-mail.

I was able to import the e-mail folders but have hit a snag for the contacts.

How do you move the contacts from an Outlook Express 6 to a Windows Live 2012??

I was going into Windows Live 2012 on the local computer.

The part I missed was seeing the tiny icons at the bottom of the left pane (Contacts being one of them), which I could not find anywhere on the ribbon.

Once I was there then importing the .wab file was easy.

Your instructions were good but you missed the part about the tiny icons.
Also, the instructions about exporting from Windows Live was unecessary as I had told you I was going from Outlook Express 6 to windows live 2012.
