Hello Stilako,
Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
A quick question before we proceed.
Have you completed Office 365 installation? What do you mean by “quicklink bar”?
If you have completed the Office 365 installation, go to Start Menu > All apps > Right-Click on the Outlook 2016 and choose Open file location. Then, right-click on the Outlook.exe set up file and choose Create Shortcut. You can chose to create a shortcut in your desktop.
Hope this helps. If you have any other issues, feel free to contact us again.
Thank you.

Thanks for the help. I've learned a few things, but others are still a work-in-progress.
I guess the proper name for the strip at the bottom is "taskbar". I'm used to XL, and haven't picked up on all the terminology even for that.
When I clicked on the bottom left icon (used to be labelled "start" but now it isn't) I got the All Apps, and liked the alphabetic system left-click reveals. I was able to get Outlook 2016, and Open file location.
The strip across the top, which should be the file string, reads
This PC/Acer C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/StartMenu/Programs, and Outlook shows in the list.
However, when I use Create Shortcut, Browse for Files or Folders, I get
This PC/Acer C:/Program Files, which contains Microsoft Office 15, or
This PC/Acer C:/Program Files (X86), which contains Microsoft Office/Office 16
Neither directory has anything pertaining to Outlook.
It seems that file manager has a completely different structure to what appears across the top when I use "Open File Location".

In win 10, the search box, if you type ..........Outlook does that not reveal the desktop program and rt click>pin to?
Or all Programs, rt click Outlook, pin to?
PS keeping frequently used shortcuts on the desktop, you will likely find a bit of a pain, unless you have a multi-monitor set up

I'm new to Windows 10, am installing Office 365. I can't get a shortcut to Outlook on the desktop
You may want to take a look at the free utility <StartMenu8> from IObit (it is also for W10 - they just never got around to changing the name) - when it comes to working with the desktop - can make things a lot faster especially when you're migrating from a legacy system to W10
