Hi All

I came across the article mentioning that OneNote for Windows 10 will reach its end of support. On my laptop, when I search for OneNote, I can see the OneNote application. How can I differentiate between OneNote for Windows 10 and OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) on my laptop? Additionally, how can I migrate from OneNote for Windows 10 to OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365)?

    Hi,

    I suggest you refer to this support article about difference between OneNote:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-s-the-difference-between-the-onenote-versions-a624e692-b78b-4c09-b07f-46181958118f

    As the article said:

    OneNote for Windows 10:

    • This version is pre-installed on Windows 10.
    • It has a simplified interface with a navigation pane on the left.
    • The app icon is purple with a white "N" and a page symbol.

    OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365):

    • This version is part of Microsoft 365 and Office 2019, but can also be downloaded as a standalone app.
    • It has a full Office ribbon interface at the top.
    • The app icon is purple with a white "N" and a notebook symbol.

    And OneNote for Windows 10 will end-of-support in October 2025.

    You can directly export OneNote Notebooks and import to OneNote agian:
