I have had to take my pc back to factory settings and although much is now ok I cannot access my Windows Live email.  so I installed Outlook Express.  It tells me I am installed but wont allow me to log in.  It asks for a Microsoft ID which I don't know.  Help!!!  I am loads of emails but I cannot get to them

How do I save my Outlook Express email addresses to a disk? I'm soon to be transfered to another dept with a new computer. Also, my browser favorites in IE8.

 

 

I'm trying to migrate from Outlook Express & Windows XP to Outlook on a new computer running Windows 8
 
I've set up a Microsoft a/c & an Outlook a/c using the 'old' computer & mastered copying my contacts & emails from Outlook Express to Outlook. 
 
However, when I click the email tile under Windows 8 & try to register my Outlook a/c quoting my email address & password it returns the message:
  "We couldn't find settings for <my email address>.  Provide us with more information & we'll try connecting again"
The additional information requested is Domain & Username.  I have no idea what a domain is & where I wd find what mine is & am not aware I have an Outlook username
 
I have managed to access my Outlook a/c under Windows 8 by going to outlook.com via Internet Explorer.  However, when I send a test message it doesn't arrive in Outlook - presumably because my Outlook a/c isn't registered on the new computer
I was upgraded from Hotmail to Outlook.com.  I've had a few issues with Outlook.com; some resolved, some not.  With Hotmail there were never any issues.  I was just thinking what is the difference between Outlook.com and Outlook Express, as the Express looks more like Hotmail to me and, perhaps, it would be easier to work with.  I'm not interested in social media being part of my email account.  This is an urgent issue for me.
I use Outlook Express for email.  When I click on a hyperlink in an email I can no longer access that site. Actually nothing happens when I click on it once, twice or more. Whats going on?
How do I upload photos to skydrive on windows 8 and then attach pictues in a file on sky drive to an email to send on outlook express
I am away in europe and I can receive mail in Outlook Express but can not send mail. I keep getting a box asking for my user name and password. I enter the information but the box keeps coming back. Is it due to the outgoing server settings. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
