If you can't get past the file lock, you can EXPORT your current outlook pst form outlook to a new pst. FILE/IMPORT AND EXPORT/ to open the EXPORT WIZARD, then EXPORT TO A FILE and so on. For that matter, you could likely just make a copy of the pst using windows FILE / COPY / PASTE and open the copy on the new computer. | ||||

Make sure the file isn't already open. If you closed the PST file already, close and reopen Outlook to release the file lock. | |||

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) and go to the Processes tab, end any process titled outlook.exe. That should kill anything using the PST file. | |||
