Idiots Guide to Android 11.0 on OPPO A76

My wife has bought an OPPO A76 running Android 11 to replace an ageing Motorola Moto E 2nd Generation running Android 6.


Where might we find an online guide to the basics of setting up the phone, installing apps etc?


Neither of us have ever owned a modern smart phone before. I have started the set up process and made reasonable progress but I am struggling on a few things. I have managed to get Whatsapp and Facebook set up.


How do I set up Hotmail (Outlook)?


We want to transfer all her Hotmail (Outlook) contacts, and all her telephone numbers


I have attempted to clone her old phone but failed.


Thanks


A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".

    Old phone should be backing up her contacts to her Google account unless it's turned off .

    Logging into the same Google account should automatically transfer them to the new phone including her phone numbers 

    Outlook should store her email contacts , there is an outlook app that should give access to her Hotmail emails and contacts

    We both have google accounts. How do we make our Hotmail/Outlook accounts back up those google accounts.

    I have searched Hotmail both on my laptop and on my phone and can't see that option.

    Our existing Moto E Anrdroid6 phones are very old and very slow.

    Where will I find that 
    outlook app?

    Thanks

    Edit: I have tried to import my Hotmail contacts into my google account but keep getting this message.

    Grrr! A pop-up blocker may be preventing the application from opening the page. If you have a pop-up blocker, try disabling it to open the window.

    I use 
    uBlock Origin. I have disabled that but I still get the same pop up message.

    If you go to the Google Play store on your phone and type "outlook mail for android" that will enable you to install the app which is free.

    Thanks Giraffe, that worked so I am making progress.  :)

    I am normally reasonably competent with technology but I do struggle with smart phones due to lack of experience.
