1) Why do you have two Windows 10 installs in the first place?
2) Just export from the first and import to the second (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Use-Outlook-to-move-information-between-email-accounts-52335a27-aa7c-4d3a-96d7-6477bdeb85c0) AFTER you re-added the email accounts. It takes 2min at most even if you have half a dozen emails.

1. because after upgrading to win 10 the computer become incredibly slow, and i have some apps the i dont want to format and install them again.
2. I wanted to import all the accounts and not one by one.

I have a Q about outlook:
1. I have pst file for every email account, is thers a way to use only one for all the email accounts?
2. is it possible to change email account from pop3 to imap after the account is been set as pop3, I tried in the change account setting and the pop3 is disabled to change.

You're playing with fire by having two installs of the same OS. Go install your applications on the new one and delete the old partition before something messy happens.

As for outlook:
1) Doesn't really matter, you only do that once. It takes more effort to bother with other methods.
2) No, since it's no longer the same account method. You should really always use IMAP, since that means you'll never have to bother with pst files ever again. All you do is add the imap account and all your mail is there.

You can literally avoid ever using PST files, since 100% of the data is stored on your mail server. PST files are a relic of POP3 style queue based servers that kept messages only until you downloaded them once (and then deleted it from the server). Most modern email servers keep all the data regardless of the mode, and many clients now only sync recent messages for offline use.

so what will happen if i change the accounts to imap, will i still have the old emails?

If you use something like gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc, then your emails will be there just fine. For other systems, depends on how the server treats your messages. If you see the emails in your web login, then you can just add imap and not worry about losing anything.
