Migrating OST files to new Computer can be challenging since OST (Offline Storage Table) files are linked to a specific Outlook profile and cannot be directly opened on another system. The manual method involves converting OST to PST (Personal Storage Table) format, which is accessible on any Outlook installation. First, open Microsoft Outlook on the old computer and navigate to File > Open & Export > Import/Export. Choose Export to a File, select Outlook Data File (.pst), and pick the folders to export. Save the PST file and transfer it to the new computer using an external drive or cloud storage. Then, open Outlook on the new system and import the PST file via File > Open & Export > Import/Export. However, this method requires access to the original Outlook profile. If the profile is inaccessible due to corruption, system crashes, or accidental deletion, manual conversion is impossible.
To simplify this process, the Cigati OST to PST Converter Tool is an efficient alternative. It allows users to convert inaccessible or orphaned OST files to PST format without requiring Outlook. Additionally, it preserves folder hierarchy, emails, contacts, and attachments, ensuring a hassle-free migration to the new computer.
