As we discussed, this can be done in different ways, such as copying the PST file manually, using Outlook&rsquo;s export and import feature, or moving it through cloud storage. These methods are useful but can become time-consuming or risky when handling large or damaged files. In situations where Outlook uses an OST file instead of a PST, manual methods are not enough. In that case, use the above-recommended software and transfer Outlook PST to new computer.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"faq-main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757501916122\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q1: Is it safe to move PST files manually from one computer to another?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans: <\/strong>Yes, you can copy PST files using a USB drive or external storage.
