Answer:
If you can't get past the file lock, you can EXPORT your current outlook pst form outlook to a new pst. FILE/IMPORT AND EXPORT/ to open the EXPORT WIZARD, then EXPORT TO A FILE and so on. For that matter, you could likely just make a copy of the pst using windows FILE / COPY / PASTE and open the copy on the new computer.

Make sure the file isn't already open. If you closed the PST file already, close and reopen Outlook to release the file lock.

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) and go to the Processes tab, end any process titled outlook.exe. That should kill anything using the PST file.
