My Windows Live Mail software died and could not be fixed.  I managed to save all my emails and contacts from a directory (ie could not open Live Mail to properly export them but have backup of all the saved files).  I deleted Live Mail with the intent to reinstall but discover it is no longer supported and can no longer be downloaded.  I can't download Mail because it doesn't seem to be compatible with my Windows 7.  Not keen to switch to Windows 10.  I have Outlook so would like to switch to using it for email for now.

Can anyone talk me through how to copy my old emails into Outlook?  I've tried using the import function but they don't seem to be in the right format for that to work.  (They seem to be .eml files in folders the same as my directories before)
