Backing up contacts with Outlook 2010

[mike2rc]

I'm using the trial version of Outllok 2010 and will install the version I purchased. I've printed off my contacts but I know there is a way to back up my contacts. Also, if I install the purchsed version over the trial version, will it import my contacts or is a clean install of the purchased Office better?

Thanks,
Mike

What does convert mean?
Convert means you have finished evaluating a trial version and have decided to purchase the full product. You are prompted to provide a Product Key that you already have or will purchase online.

You shoudn't have to uninstall the trial version

I haven't installed my purchased version yet...still on trial. One quick way I do contacts is take the Outlook properties of a mass email sent to me and add the ones I want to contacts. I try to Bcc when I email for privacy.

Also, I using Windows 7 64-bit and noticed Outlook open slower at first than Outlook 2007. Is that due to the extras MS added to Outlook '10 or is the trial version somewhat crippled?

I'm having a more quiet fan installed for my ASUS P7P55 LX mother board with the Intel the my Intel Core (TM) i7 2.93 Ghz. I know you ruin the warranty but would having the tech over clock it be OK if the fan is strong enough? I do realize it may not be the best idea and anything could happen by over clocking.

Mike - you have the full blown version of Outlook with a temp key code. All you have to do is type the new key code you have.

What Steve is driving at is you should NOT need to uninstall and/or re-install/install anything at all.

If you simply type in the key code you received into the trial version you already have installed, that trial version will automagically be converted into whatever version you paid for.

(In most software you can usually input the key code [Product Key] under Help | About).
