I think what I asked for is impossible. Outlook on my Win 11 laptop has not "started", so there is not an existence of a an outlook.pst file. I will have to go thru the effort of setting up one mail account on the new hardware, search for the location of the new outlook.pst file and substitute my existing mail file for the "skinny" file and restart Outlook. I'll comment back on this entry on my success.
