Any techy people know the best way to do the upgrade such that my old .pst Outlook 2007 email, contact and calendar history are integrated with the new stuff? I am not overlaying an old Outlook 2007, I bought a new computer and want to move the old history to the new computer with the newer Office 2013 program.
I tried this once and ended up with separate files, an old calendar and a new calendar, an old set of contacts and a new set, and old email history and a whole new set of email accounts. I did use Google to figure out how to put all the email addresses into a unified inbox, but is there a way to get the prior email history in that same display area?
You have to locate the .pst file and copy it over, have the new program load it, etc.

I did copy all the .pst files, but outlook 2013 using .ost files so while I could access the old stuff, it was in a whole separate mailbox/contacts/calendar, nothing was integrated on display. Is that really how they wrote it?
I wonder if I have to upgrade my old computer to 2013 and that would convert the files, then move it all?
