After upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 SP1, I have lost all emails, my calendar, and all contact lists.  I use these for my home business.  This is unacceptable.  I am not a computer guru but can find my way around.  How do I import these lists back into my Outlook 2010?

Hello.

I had the same issue but with Outlook 2007.

This just happened to me also when I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 on my new Microsoft Surface. I changed nothing. I use iCloud to sync my contacts with my phone, and now those contacts or calendars are not showing up. Just tell us how to get them back.. Pls make it simple!!

After upgrading from Win 8.1 to Win 10 on my laptop iCloud calendar and contacts in Outlook 2010 no longer were available. I solved that by uninstalling iCloud, rebooting the laptop then reinstalling iCloud. Once I logged back into iCloud my Outlook 2010 iCloud calendar and contacts fully synced.

I have also seen seen reports of folks logging out of iCloud on the Win 10 computer, waiting for a short period of time then logging back into iCloud on the Win 10 computer as a fix.

I have Outlook 2007.  This solution did not work for me.  Any other ideas?  

Thank you

For the very life of me I cannot find this Outlook menu that has the preferences.

Method1:

1. Go to Outlook menu.       
2. Then click on Preferences
3. Then go to General and Uncheck Hide On My Computer folders. This ensures nothing is      completely hidden.
4. Close Outlook and check if      the issue persist.
