Enable IMAP access in your Gmail account settings. Add your Gmail account in Outlook for Mac. Create a replacement folder in your Gmail account in Outlook and Right-click & copy all the important Outlook mailboxes you would like to maneuver to Windows Outlook. Search the newly created folder and choose that folder and click on Copy. Now sign up with the same Gmail account in Outlook on Windows. After all the Gmail mailboxes sync into Outlook and then export the Mac Outlook email folders you previously used to PST file using Import/Export Wizard.
