Hello KMR! My name is Janbaz, and I am an Independent Advisor as well as a long-time Microsoft user. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I am hopeful that I will be able to help you find a satisfactory solution.
Dear KMR, Always create an Office 365 Group using Outlook Online. Next, add a Microsoft Team to this newly created Office 365 Group. In Microsoft Teams, click on the 'Join or create a team' button. Click on the 'Create a team from an existing Office 365 group' button instead of creating a new team.
Please check the below article related to your issue:

Please let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.
Warm Regards,

Hi Janbaz,
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately this does not really help. As stated in my question, I am aware that I can create a new Team based on an Outlook group but I want to do the reverse; create and Outlook group based an Teams team.
I appreciate that this might not be possible and if that is the case then I would have to create a new Outlook group and then create a new Teams team based on it. But my question then is, is there a way to transfer the existing team's data (files, tasks, posts) to the new team?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Katrina
