Synchronising my Outlook calendar, contacts and task with my Lumia 720

[Anonymous]

Just upgraded my 'phone and can't see how to synch my phone with my laptop. Nokia suite worked well with my N8 but doesn't recognise the Lumia. I need to synch with Outlook regularly so I can maintain one set of information. Windows Phone App for Desktop only seems to want to synch pictures, music and video but none of what's important to me.

Does anyone out there have any useful ideas??

Have you got an outlook.com account?
If so, everything will automatically sync to it.

I have now. I'm using Outlook 2010 on my laptop - how do I use the Outlook.com account to synch with my phone?

Enter the outlook account as the sync account on phone for contacts and calendar and add the account to your outlook on PC. You might have export your stuff from your old outlook address to the new one but once done any changes made on your PC to your new outlook account will sync with the phone.
