How to sync Windows live mail with Outlook.com?

Ok...With all the stuff I've posted and looked up online help files, Windows forum, Guru sites; I still can't figure out how to sync Windows Live Mail2011 that came with this computer when I was running Win7, to Outlook.com on-line so I can send something by email from my computer to a email address online.

I thought when I upgraded to Win10 it would have a new on board email program; nope, I found out that they did away with support for Live Mail; guess they expect people to use on-line mail.

Also there are old sites on-line that when you try to send them email it opens up Windows Live mail.

I have tried to do what the help sites say to do but it never works.

I just tried to send a shortcut I had on my desktop to Outlook so I could attach it to bookmarks in Slimjet; but it says it could not find matches for the mail box Outlook.com.

Anybody know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

Well I manage to get Windows live mail 2011 to work with my outlook.com acct. Before I was going thru outlooks syncing help online; but they had me trying to set up the server smtp, pop3, imap protocols; which never worked. So this time; after delving deep into the Microsoft support site, I found a relatively easy way to go into live mail>file>export mail>accounts>fill in the needed info and it worked. Can now send mail from my computer; d/l mail off my online accts and read offline; like the old times.

I had before set up gmail thru live mail, so I tried sending an email and was able to send a post thru, but google sent me a warning note saying that my gmail account was being accessed from an unsecured device. So Win Live mail 2011 is probably too old to have the latest security software; I wont use it unless I need to; but there are some old sites on line if you want to send email to them you need an email client on your computer.
