I cannot edit some of contacts
Rod-F I believe it may depend on where the contact is located or came from. This can be due to the Outlook Social Connector which shows you contacts from social networks. In my Outlook Desktop installation, for example, People still shows me LinkedIn contacts courtesy of the Social Connector; these I cannot edit in Outlook. Outlook.com does not show me LinkedIn contacts while Outlook Desktop does, but, If I take one of these LinkedIn contacts from my Desktop and copy it to my Outlook.com contacts, I can see it and use it, but I cannot edit it. My guess is that the contacts you cannot edit originated from somewhere else.

Hal_Hostetler your suggestion seems possible. Yesterday I replaced my PC's hard drive and installed Windows 10 back onto it. Then I put on Office, using my Office 365 account. It's entirely possible that Outlook on the desktop, is using the Social Connector. I'm guessing, if it is, that I probably had it set that way previously, with the old installation of Windows.
What I'd like to know is how do I determine if the Social Connector is what's doing this?
