Making it easier to get to the OneNote app on Windows

Now we are making it easier to get the OneNote app on Windows, plus new, faster ways to launch it with the Windows 11 2022 Update. Today we're making it easier to get the right OneNote app on any Windows device by making it available in the Microsoft Store. As we previously announced, we're evolving the OneNote app on Windows, and consolidating the OneNote app on Windows and OneNote for Windows 10 into a single app moving forward. We're simply making it easier to get the OneNote app on any Windows device by making it available for download from the Microsoft Store. OneNote for Windows 10 is going out of support in October 2025, so consider switching to the OneNote app on Windows to continue receiving new feature updates. Installing the OneNote app will not uninstall or change anything on OneNote for Windows 10, nor will it replace OneNote for Windows 10. If you don't want to keep both apps, then you can manually uninstall OneNote for Windows 10 after you verify all your notebooks show up in the OneNote app. Read more at https://bit.ly/3gNb44M Source: Microsoft Tech Community Microsoft 365 Blog
