Compatibility Outlook 2013 and 2010
Job is to transition a Win 7 PC to a new Windows 8 PC. First I install Classic SHell which changes the Win 8.1 interface to a Win 7 interface. All this is background for my question.
Can I then install Outlook 2013 creating an empty Outlook.pst file, kill Outlook and switch in the Outlook 2010 Outlook.pst file and restart Outlook 2013 and all the previous emails, email addresses, etc etc show up. i,e Are the Outlook 2013 and 2010 pst files compatible.
Also what is the default location for Outlook.pst under Windows 7 (or Windows 8) I believe is it is a subfolder of the Documents folder. Please provide full path to it.
Regards,
Mike

The pst-file format is still the same as it was and compatible with Outlook 2003 and later.
The default location for Outlook.pst under Windows 7:
See AppData by enabling viewing of hidden files and folders in Control Panel > Folder Options > View

Hi Mike,
As I've been tweaking my Office 2013 environment, I noticed that Picture Manager wasn't included in the installation. This was a bummer for me, as I like the product and it is the standard viewer I use to look at photos. I don't know if your upgrade from Outlook 2010 to 2013 included the rest of the Office modules, but if it did, and if you would like to have Picture Manager back, you may want to look at How to Install Microsoft Office Picture Manager in Office 2013, an article I wrote recently and published here at EE. Regards, Joe
