Transferring Calandar from Outlook Classic to New Outlook?

Can this be done or not?

Just hangs if I try...

While I'm asking....

Loaded Outlook Classic on a new laptop, now cant set a reminder in the calendar, and existing calendar entry reminders dont come up? Why Not, how strange!!

So I'm stuck, cant transfer my very highly populated calendar to the new outlook and cant get reminders in the classic version.

  • flashpixx​ what type of email account do you have your calendar set up with in Classic? 

    If POP or IMAP, (this computer only), you can try to export to a CSV and then try to import online to your email account (not sure what type of email you're using?)

    Outlook.com will allow importing online and then show in New Outlook

    Gmail/you have to import in the calendar in Gmail then it will show up in New Outlook. 

    Some email types don't have a calendar at all connected, please let me know about this.

    Auto-sync on Microsoft Outlook calendars if you are using the same account in both versions.

    Check on reminder notifications in your Outlook if you are seeing the same reminder, or if disabled by default in new installations.

    You can transfer your calendar from Outlook Classic to New Outlook by syncing your account. Just sign in to the same Microsoft account in the new Outlook, and your calendar will automatically appear if it’s cloud-based (Exchange or Outlook.com). If your calendar is saved locally in a PST file, you may need to import it first in Classic Outlook and then sync it to the account. Microsoft has designed the new Outlook to automatically sync mail, contacts, and calendar once the account is added, so manual transfer is usually not needed unless data is stored offline.
