    To manually convert an OST to a PST file, open Outlook and create a new PST file via "File > Open & Export > Import/Export," then use the "Import/Export" wizard to export data from the OST file and save it to the newly created PST file. However, this method is time-consuming, prone to errors, and may not work for corrupted OST files. For a more efficient and error-free solution, consider using a professional tool like Migrate emails OST to PST Converter.
