Default how do I download a contact list from a disk into my outlook?

Well my question may be an old one as well, but here goes any way. I had my
pc updated from xp to windows 7. But my Outlook Contacts nor any other folder
were populated with the info from XP Outlook. I have tried looking around
but can find nothing. How do I find the folders from my xp outlook and move
them to windows 7 oulook. Be nice I am a novice and an old man.

I had my contact list from my work computer downloaded onto a disk and now
am
trying to download them onto my home computer. They are in a "pst" folder
on
the disk and possibly from 2003 Outlook. My home computer is 2007
Outlook.
I don't know if this will cause an issue but wanted to include that info
as
well.


As documented here extraordinarily frequently - copy the pst file to your
HDD, preferably into your Documents folder. Ensure the Read-Only attribute
is not set.
Open Outlook. Do File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate to where you put
it. Copy the contacts from the new pst file to your existing one....
