Hi. So my new laptop has its new Outlook PST file. My old laptop has its PST file and the one from the laptop before it. Can I migrate the two PsT files from the old laptop and somehow use or merge all three? Thanks

As .pst files are constantly updating themselves, when you moved to your new laptop, did you import the information from the previous .pst file?

No. Should I have imported it?

If you import your .pst file into your new copy of Outlook (The Office version) all the information you had in the old Outlook will then be in your new PC's version of Outlook.
