Migrating emails from desktop Outlook to Exchange online

Hello there!

I have a customer who has different desktop PCs (WinXp, Win7, Win10) and different versions of Outlook. They are using POP3 for now.
They wish to migrate (emails and address books) to Exchange Online.

What steps should I take and which tools (prefered free) should I use to complete this task with as little problems as posible.

Thanks for suggestions and help!

Andy M. this was my thinking too. I just thought there are some other steps or tools you other IT guys use and are better solution.

What about compatibility. I have read somewhere WinXP is not supported in Exchange Online but I guess this is comment about general support. I belive all Office Outlook versions should work with Exchange Online. Is this correct?
So long as your exports from the existing Outlooks are saved as .pst files, you shouldn't have any issues regardless of Outlook versions or which operating system the Outlook you exported from was running on.

I'll also second Andy M's suggestion. No additional software needed and it's the way I'd go about doing it as well.

Cheers..
