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

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.

Sure hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks!

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....

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.

The only way of upgrading from XP to Windows 7 is by a CLEAN install. A
CLEAN install wipes your HDD. Therefore if you (or whoever did the upgrade)
didn't backup your data then unless you have other backups I'm afraid you
have lost it all.

Not exactly true. While updating Windows XP to 7 will necessitate a full
install, the user's personal files should get moved to a folder called
C:\windows.old if the installation is placed in the same partition as Windows
XP.
