    I am trying to locate the Windows Live Mail files in Win 10 Home edition on a homebuilt tower computer. I want to convert them to PST and transfer to my new Acer XC 1760 desktop computer running Win 11 Home edition. They are suppose to be in an AppData file. I have only been able to locate two appdata files and neither of them led to a Live Mail file.
    Does anyone know where they are located in Win 10 Home edition or if I am dealing with hidden files?
    Thanks

    This is the problem. I read this article, but when I go to C:\Users\User Name\...etc., the Microsoft folder is empty. Where are the Live Mail folders stored is the big question.

    OK. The Live Mail files were "Hidden" on my Win 10 tower computer. So, first open "File Explorer" and then open "View" at the top of the page. In view, at the right, check the box "Hidden items". Then, in "File Explorer", open c:\Users\Username (Joe Smith for example)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail. All the Live Mail folders are there.
