Putting two sets of data in one Office account

Need a suggestion from you experts out there.  I use two laptops, both with
Office and I extensively use the mail and task functions on each.

I had backed up my work computer, including my Outlook data into a pst file,
before attempting the reformat the hard drive.  There is a hardware problem
with the computer that may take me a few days to a week to get fixed.

Since I have a few days, I was wondering about loading the SECOND pst file
on my working laptop, but was wondering if there was a way to do so where I
could keep the data separate.  I wasn't sure if there was a way to do so
within Outlook itself, or maybe there might be a separate program that this
data could be imported to.

It's just a temporary thing, but this would make the next week or so much
easier.

Thanks for your help

Copy the pst file to your HDD, and in Outlook do File-Open-Outlook Data
file. That will create a separate set of folders within Outlook....
