Want to move events of your Outlook Calendar to your iCloud Calendar? The simplest way to do this is to transfer the calendar to iCloud via PC.
iCloud’s integration with Outlook via iCloud for Windows has been patchy at best. This guide demonstrates a method to export Outlook calendar to iCloud Calendar directly and without the use of the iCloud control panel.
