I am unsuccessfully attempting to sync my address book (contacts) on my PC and Laptop.  Both are using Windows 10 and Windows Live Mail (2012 on the PC and 2009 on Laptop).  Both work just fine.  I use primarily POP mail (as opposed to web-mail) and download the mail to my PC.  The only time i download mail to my laptop is when I am traveling, but I leave a copy on the various mail servers for future download to my PC.

Since my PC is my primary computer, it has the latest updates to my address book (I guess the current term is contacts).  I want to update the address book/contacts in my laptop to be identical to my PC.  Failing to find any other way to do so, I tried exporting the addresses as a .csv file which I share (synced) to my laptop.  In my mail program on the laptop I attempted to import the contacts.  For some unknown reason, the import appears to be failing.  I say that because the window pops up and says import in progress and the bright "light" moves across the blue band suggesting something is happening.  However, after 20 minutes, nothing seems to be happening.

After cancelling the import, I found I apparently had a Windows 10 Update in the queue.  I let that install and tried again.  Same result.  I have rebooted.  Same result.

I have read on-line that Windows Live Mail should sync automatically...clearly not happening -- and/or I don't now how to make it do that. 

So, how long should it take for contacts to import?  How can I get this accomplished?

Thanks.
