Windows 10 - Need To Import Contacts to People App

Launch People App



Press Windows Key  +I Click Accounts.


 
The Accounts pane will appear. Click Add an account.



Select the service you wish to use. In this example, we'll add a Facebook account.
You can add hotmail, Microsoft account, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google and Sinoweb
 
The Connecting to a service page will appear. You will need to sign in to the chosen account.



The Request for Permission page will appear with options and permissions. This page will vary depending on which service you choose. Follow the instructions to give the People app permission to access your account.



Once you are connected, your contacts will be imported into the People app.


Unlike manually added contacts, any contacts imported from another service cannot be deleted.


To Add a New Contact Manually:

If you don't have all of your contacts stored on your social networks, or if you just prefer to enter contact information on your own, it's easy to add contacts manually.

1.   Right-click anywhere on the People app. A menu will appear at the bottom of the screen.
2.   Locate and select New contact.


3.   Enter the contact information. At the very least, you should enter a first and last name, as well as an email address. However, you can also enter other information, like phone numbers, alternate email addresses, and work info.
4.   When you are finished filling out the contact information, click Save.




5.   The contact will be added to the People app.
