Is there a Hub for Win 10? I'm having issues with Classic Outlook Win 10.
Update: I was able to switch to the "New" Outlook with no issue. Just had to sign into the various gmail accounts and download the emails. That went pretty smoothly, so that part is fine. But none of my contact lists were imported. On the "New" Outlook those lists are empty. I can't imagine what a horror show this must be for people using only one computer to suddenly discover their contact list empty (except in the 'edit" feild). I just find it odd that, while "support" for Win 10 has ended, MS seems to have no trouble updating (some parts) of the apps but not Win 10 itself. That jusy seems like grotesque commodification and crap advertizing. Weird. So, now I have the old Classic Outlook on my Win 11 OS on my newer laptop which works fine but only the emails on the New Outlook on my Win 10 OS on my older Dell. How sureal. Only in MS World would this make sence. Ug.

If your Contacts in Classic Outlook where in a local "This Computer Only" folder (which is the default for any IMAP account like GMail) they will have to be moved manually to the New Outlook for Windows using Export/Import.

If you used classic Outlook before moving to new Outlook and you saved contacts locally, those contacts may not have copied over to new Outlook. To import locally saved contacts from classic Outlook to new Outlook, you need to export these contacts to a .csv file in classic Outlook and then import that file to new Outlook.
FYI - As far as a I know, none of the problems you are seeing have anything to do with Win10 vs Win11. It's all just Outlook.
