After they first synced, I failed to copy my contacts to the Google account and another reset the Outlook contacts just won't sync on Android. So is there a free method of exporting via vcard/vcf files of do I have to look them up on PC and manually add each to the google account?

Mahai N,

You should have posted this question at Microsoft Office section of Windows Central :

Microsoft Office

Your outlook.com email has nothing to do with Outlook 2016.

Please explain how do you know the OP has Outlook.com and not Microsoft Outlook 2016 ?

Yes, I'm with you on this too. I also want to know.

In all fairness, I assumed OP was talking about contacts from Outlook.com. But on the other hand, if OP had Outlook 2016 already, they wouldn't be asking if they had to pay for it. Am I missing something? Maybe OP could clarify.

The OP deleted the last part of his/her post after we had made the replies.
The deleted part included statement like (paraphrasing) " do I have to pay for Outlook 2016 again ?"

I should have kept the habit of including the quote. It would have been an iron-clad proof.

The fact that the mod moved the thread to Microsoft Office section is an obvious indication that the OP had mentioned Microsoft Office 2016 (which he/she deleted after the thread was moved), and the mod also took it as a MS Outlook question.

If the OP had misled some of us into believing he/she was using Office 2016, then of course, my suggestion would be useless.

Thanks for the tip, but on the Outlook Store app there was no option to copy the contacts from the Live(Outlook) account to Gmail. I mentioned Outlook 2016 because it said somewhere it can do the job. I was just coming from W10M and wanted my contacts to sync on Android 7 without having to pay for an app to do that on a w10 pc. In the end I will add them manually and get rid of the old contacts while I'm at it

Like I said, you don't need Outlook on your desktop to sync your contacts to your phone.

You can either export contacts from Outlook into Google, or you can install and sign in to the Outlook app for Android on your phone - you should be able to access your contacts there.
