How do I backup messages & addresses in Outlook before formatting & reinstalling Windows?

There are two ways you can do this.
First : For all your Mails, Contacts and any other custom folders, you can create a 'Personal Folder' and copy all your folders to this. A personal folder is a .pst file which can reside on your hard-drive, and once backup finishes, close your Outlook and move this file to any backup location you wish to.

Second : For only Addresses : Inside your MS Outlook: File>Import & Export, choose 'Export to a file' ; and then choose the file-type suitable for your case. A .csv file is most preferable type.
All the best.
