Need some help with some VB.net programs...

Little background:
A) I know virtually nothing about VB.net programming but made a few programs for work in the past that, while aren't anything special, help people around here do their mundane tasks
B) these programs were made on a Win7 machine with VS 2010 and utilize Outlook, Excel etc
C) I haven't touched these programs in years, but now we want some changes made.
D) I'm now on a Win10 machine and running VS 2019
E) When I open the .sln in VS 2019, it appears I'm missing some references that are needed and I can not (obviously) get the program to run without them

Any help in getting this fixed? And educating me a bit in the process? Thanks in advance.

You must have Outlook/Excel 2010 installed. Otherwise you have to change the references to the version on your machine.

If you need the program to run on machines that have different versions of Office installed, you then have to check and reference to different Office versions in the program.

I actually do still have 2010 installed.
After posting here, I THINK I was able to get it to work. I simply removed that reference. And readded it. Didn't think it would be that simple I guess.
