In order to make PST compatible with later versions of Outlook, Microsoft provides a utility called pst19upg.exe. The process requires a space of about three times the size of the original PST. The first file should be backed up and scanned using scanpst.exe. Then pst19upg. exe can be used in the files via command line as:

'C: My Documentspst19upg.exe'-x outlook.pst.
