Microsoft will end support for OneNote for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, transitioning it to read-only status. Users will be able to view notes but not edit or sync them.

Users can migrate their notes to the new app using an in-app migration tool. The new OneNote app is available for free from the Microsoft Store, requiring a login with a work, school, or personal account.
