The new version of Outlook is such garbage and I can’t seem to get the old version. Does anybody have a way for me to get it? I can’t believe how much functionality has been removed and how terrible the “new” product is. I’m so sick of every company’s “improvements” being a stripped away piece of trash. WTF are the morons at Microsoft smoking???
How do I download the "Classic" version of Outlook to my computer?

Is Outlook installed? Outlook.exe is here - you can use Windows key + R to open the Run command and paste the path, including the parenthesis in the run box then press Enter.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
if you use 32-bit Office, it is here -
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
If Outlook is installed and new Outlook opens when you click the link, see Use Classic Outlook, not New Outlook (slipstick.com)
If it is not installed, you can download Outlook here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/you-can-t-open-classic-outlook-on-a-new-windows-pc-5c94902b-31a5-4274-abb0-b07f4661edf5

Hi Paul!
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum. Please accept our warmest regards and sincerest hope that all is well.
I understand that you'd like to go back to the old version of Outlook or what we now call the classic version of Outlook for Windows.
Assuming that you already are using "new" Outlook for Windows app now, you can revert this change by using the steps from the guide below.

If you still can't go back to "old" Outlook using the guide above, please consider re-installing Office using the link below.

For some reason I must have accepted New Outlook on my new computer, when all software got installed, as I'm pretty sure it came with an old version of Outlook.
The New Outlook is terrible, and given it didn't help me to use the switch to not use it, I uninstalled it, in the thought that I could reinstall the old version. I don't seem to find it anywhere though. My new computer is a Lenovo and is bought with Microsoft Office. However, when I try to install that, there is no Outlook in it, which was the case when I got the computer a few months back.
