Ok I've finally got the green light to upgrade the family PC to Win 8

However with one caveat. That I retain the wife's favorites and all her e-mails including the personal folders that all her e-mails are in (outlook 2010).

To be honest I'm scared stiff of Outlook PST files as no matter how many times I reinstall it never seems to workout right and I end up with multiple inboxes and stuff like Personal Folders(1) Personal Folders(2) etc.

I've googled it and there doesn't seem to be a fail safe way of getting this right.

Does anyone have a good way of doing this so that when I reinstall outlook I can put her mails back.

Also what about my games in steam etc? Most of them are installed on external drives but is there anything I should look out for?


cheers,

John
