backing up email in outlook 365 before reinstalling windows 10

I'm about to change my HDD to a SSD in my laptop and as such will need to do a full reinstall of Windows 10. What do I need to do to ensure that my work emails (2 seperate addresses) get backed up suitably and can be restored on my laptop post reinstall?  I'm using Outlook 365.

 

Many thanks

    Your email is typically stored in the Exchange Online server which eliminates the need to do anything because you would just reconnect to office 365, to confirm this go to another computer and login to portal.office.com

    One exception would be if you have saved messages to a local pst file, then in that case, you need to make sure to save that file(s)
