my addresses and the mails that I kept (important!) someone told me that they should be somewhere in windows( 10) Can I find them

I have no idea about Live Mail. You may ask in a Microsoft forum.

Can I ... bring them to thunderbird?

Alternatively click the star right to the From address. When the star turns yellow, the email address has been added as a contact to your Personal Address Book.
