I have used Thunderbird on a Toshiba Qosmio running Windows 8.1 and have just bought a new HP24 All in One running Windows 10. After installing Thunderbird I then used Mozbackup to backup my profile from my Toshiba and restored my profile on my HP. I have three emails a sky, gmail and outlook, Sky and gmail worked but my Outlook keeps coming up as failed to connect. Anyone else have this problem

No.
How is the account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.
Without posting your full email address, what settings do you have under menu path Tools->Account Settings Server Settings:
Server name:
Port # :
User name : (Is it your full name or just the bit before the @ symbol)
Connection Security:
Authentication Method:
