I want to recover my Outlook 2016 PST file from a Backup created by a previous installation of Windows 10.


I lost access to my PC and had to reinstall Windows 10, losing all my user data on the C: drive in the process. All my data is backed up to OneDrive except for my Outlook data.


I located a suitable file set created by Windows Backup, on my D: drive, but the original Outlook.pst file (c. 3.5Gb) has been split into 174 smaller Outlook.pst files. I unzipped the Backup files in .zip folder number sequence and now have the 174 Outlook files together in one directory, with filenames outlook.pst(1) etc. I don't know if it was wrong to do so, but I renamed outlook.pst to outlook.pst(1), and the other numbers all appear to have incremented by 1 automatically.


How can I merge them all to recreate the one original Outlook file?
