Steps

On Outlook.com

Open Outlook. Go to https://www.outlook.com/ in your preferred web browser. This will open your Outlook inbox if you're already signed into Outlook. If you aren't signed into Outlook, enter your Microsoft email address (or phone number) and password to log in.

Click the "People" icon. It's the icon resembling two silhouettes in the lower-left corner of the Outlook webpage. Doing so opens your Outlook Contacts page.

Click Manage. This tab is near the top of the page.

Click Export contacts. It's in the Manage drop-down menu.

Check the "All contacts" option. Click the circle to the left of "All contacts" in the right-hand side of the page, beneath the "Which contacts do you want to export?" heading. If you see more than one file format under the "Select a format to export" heading, you can select your preferred file format as well.

Click Export. It's at the top of the "Export contacts" sidebar. Doing so will prompt your contacts file to begin downloading to your computer. You may have to confirm the download or select a save location for it.

On Windows Desktop
