How to Convert OST to PST (Fast & 100% Working Method) ✅

Hey everyone, welcome back to Victor Explains. If you're stuck with an OST file that Outlook refuses to open, your profile got corrupted, or you've moved to a new PC without a backup, don't panic. In today's video, I'll show you exactly how to convert an OST file into a fully usable PST file using Stellar Converter for OST. This tool is a lifesaver for Outlook users, IT admins, and anyone who needs to recover their mailbox fast. So let's jump right in and see how Just go to the official website, I'll leave the download link in the description below. Click on it, and then click on free download. The download is quick. Once it's done, open the installer, click yes, choose your language, and follow the simple next, next, next steps. I already have the software installed on my PC, so I'll jump straight into showing you how it works. After installation, open the application. It will ask for administrator permission, that's completely normal because the tool needs full access to read and convert all your emails and attachments into a PST file. Click yes, and the Stellar Converter for OST interface will open. On the main screen, you'll see two options, list profile and choose manually. If you're not sure where your OST file is stored, click list profile. If the OST is linked to your Outlook profile, it will appear here along with the profile name and file path. But if you don't see your file in the list, select Choose mailbox manually. Here, you can either click Find to search for the OST automatically, or click Browse to manually locate it. For example, I know my OST is saved in the Documents folder. So I'll click Browse, select the file, and hit Open, then simply click Convert. If you're unsure where your file is, use the Find option instead. Select the drive, usually the C drive, and click Find. It may take a moment to scan, but as you can see, It detected my OST file automatically. Once it finds your OST, stop the search, select the file, and click convert. Now wait for the conversion to finish. The time depends on the size of your mailbox. My example file is 186 megabytes, so it only takes a few moments. When it's done, you'll see a conversion complete message. Click OK. Now your entire mailbox will be displayed. You can view everything, inbox, sent items, deleted items, contacts, calendar, the full structure. You can preview any email or convert the whole mailbox into a PST file. To save it, click Save Converted File. You'll see all the available export formats, PST, MSG, EML, RTF, HTML, and PDF. Since we want to convert the full mailbox, choose PST file, then click Next. Here you can select where to save the output file or you can leave it in the same location as your original OST. You can also choose to recover deleted items or split large PST files automatically. If you click apply advanced filter you can exclude folders like junk or deleted items or filter emails by date. But for most people converting the entire mailbox is the best option. So click next then ok and the saving process will begin. Give it a moment depending on your mailbox size. Once it's complete, you'll get a confirmation that your OST has been successfully converted to PST. If you want to import the PST into Outlook, just click here and follow the guide. If you didn't change the PST location like me, you can follow this path, or here's the quick way to find it. Press Windows key plus R key, type %localappdata% and click OK. Open the Microsoft folder, then Outlook, and inside you'll see both your OST file and the PST file you just created. And that's it.
