The new OneNote for Windows 10 requires you sign into an account, and then saves your notebooks on OneDrive rather than locally.

Unfortunately I signed in with my university account and am scared of loosing two years of notes when I graduate and loose this account.

It is NOT possible to download the notebooks from OneDrive (at least for me) and you can copy them, but only within OneDrive.

How do I migrate the notebooks to a new account - keeping in mind they contain two years worth of notes and so are quite big.

Thank you!

N. B. the Onenote for Windows 10 is the version of Onenote released after, and intended to replace, Onenote 2016. The two programs have significant differences and therefore, older answers, for OneNote 2016 do not apply to this new version.

From the "old" account, share the OneDrive folder containing the OneNote notebooks to the account you want to move them into. Then login into the "new" account and copy the content of the shared folder to a folder of the new account.

I use OneNote for Windows 10 and had this same problem. I managed to find a solution that worked for me.

  1. First login to your new account and create/open a notebook you want to store your transferred notes.

  2. Next go to your old Notebook with all your notes. Right-click on the section you want to transfer and select Move/Copy. It should show you all the Notebooks you have open.

  3. Select the notebook you want the notes to go into and you can either select to move the notes or copy the notes over!

Hope this helps!
