Overview

Due to Microsoft ending Security Updates for OneNote 2016, SPU will be moving to OneNote for Windows 10. In order to use OneNote for Windows 10, all notebooks must be stored on Onedrive or SharePoint. This means all of the personal notebooks that are stored locally on a workstation must be moved to your SPU-provided OneDrive. The instructions below will outline the steps required to migrate OneNote 2016 notebooks to OneDrive for Business.

All personal notebooks must be moved to OneDrive for Business otherwise the data will be lost as OneNote 2016 will be pulled from all computers on campus and will not be available for download in January 2020
