Address list empty efter move to new computer

I have moved my entire hard disk to a new computer and upgraded to Windows 11. My professional consult did it actually, I don' know how. But he moved the disk to the new computer and cloned its content to the new hard disk. In my address book all folders are empty, all. When creating a new mail, the addresses are all there so I can send emails to the people I want, even to groups. When creating a new sending list I can do so by typing the desired persons and their addresses will show. So all contacts are somewhere on the computer. But the folders are empty, so I can't drag and drop contacts to create a sending list. I can create new contacts and place them in any of the folders, but that will probably f-k up things. I'd be glad if it is possible to restore my address book. I realized that there are quit a lot of contacts that are obsolete, which I want to delete. I'm not native English speaking so forgive me if I got some terminology wrong.

I am unsure what you mean by 'address folders', as it seems obvious that your addressbook is properly there. More information may help.
