Contacts not syncing to surface pro on message+

Question

I have a ton of contacts in my phone and they were always backed up through gmail.  That is just the way my phone was set up over 6 years ago.  Now I understand that I have to have them all in the cloud through to have them sync and not gmail.  The problem is there is no way to change my contacts.  This makes message+ useless on my computer as I don't know who is messaging me.  How can I get them to sync.

nathanm, we definitely want to see your contacts sync over to your Surface Pro. that's a very important feature.

By chance, did you ever try Exporting your Google Gmail contacts to a CSV file, and then logging in to your Outlook .com People Hub to Import the CSV file so that it Syncs with your Surface Pro?

Also, from your Gmail>Select Contacts>Click More Option>Choose Export>All Contacts>Choose Google CSV Format>Export and save on computer desktop.

Next Log in to your Outlook.com or People Hub page, >Select People >Finally Import the CSV file in order to start sync
