There are two ways.

If the version of Outlook is the same, you can simply replace the new address book file with the old one. The name of the file will be username.wab.

Or you can import the old address book into the new - even if the version of Outlook has been upgraded.

See this link for instructions on Importing Addresses into Microsoft Outlook Address Book:
