    It is usually an import function but it depends where your contacts are stored now. Try this link.

    Have MS added an "import contacts" function yet? If not, the act of adding an existing email account (eg gmail, hotmail) should automatically include the contacts that those accounts had.

    No import is not there - I have the accounts already added but the long list of contacts not there - I have them saved on an external hard drive

    Sorry, not familiar with MS stuff (as you can tell); how about import to outlook.com or hotmail.com (from your -assumed- CSV file on your external hard drive); may have to create a temporary account there of-course if you dont have one already; then add that (account+contacts) to [Windows 10] Mail.

    In the lower-left corner, select Contacts.
    Select Import on the ribbon.
