Yes, the OneNote is free to use. I tested the online version and logged with my Microsoft account then I had the possibility of using the entire application. There is a Windows 10 version of OneNote, but it requires a Microsoft account as well in order to use it.


If you have Windows 10, press Windows Key + Q and type OneNote, but if you prefer the online version, then visit the following link: https://www.onenote.com

Answer by Julia Bocchetta

Since the OneNote is a part of the entire Office package, you have the possibility to uninstall it using the classical way. Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program and locate Microsoft Office in the list. Click Remove/Uninstall and then customize the removal process. Leave all other products installed, and then click the OneNote and mark it as being uninstalled. Accept the changes and wait for the process to finish.

My Windows Explorer doesn't work. I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer. Can you help?

Answer by Pete Clapp

First, go to Start, type cmd and open the utility using Administrator rights. After that, type sfc /scannow and press the Enter key. Also, perform a full system scan using your security program or an utility from Software Informer database. If the problem persists, go to Start, type Memory Diagnostics and open the utility. After that, click Restart now and check for problems (recommended) and wait to see if there is a RAM memory problem. For further solutions, I suggest you check the Microsoft Support page.

Everytime I try to use my OneNote it asks me for my product code. When I enter the code from the bottom of my computer it won't accept it. I have just recently bought my computer with this product. Can you help me?

Answer by Pete Clapp

The code at bottom of the computer is the serial key for your Windows operating system. The Microsoft Office OneNote version on your computer is a trial one, which you can only use for 30 days for free. You can acquire the full version from Microsoft web site along with the Microsoft Office Suite.

Answer by Dan Angel

Yes, there is a fee if you want to upgrade the application to a newer version. The latest version is Microsoft Office 365 and you can purchase it from the official website. Also, you need to know that only the small updates are free of charge. These are applied automatically if you have Windows Update enabled. Check the official web page for further information. Another solution to update the application is to go at the Help menu and to press the Check for Updates button.

Yes, OneNote allows you to password protect one section of the document. Select the section or the tab then go to File > Password Protect This Section. Input the desired password and save the document. When you export it, the document will be visible except the part that requires a password to be accessed.

First, I get with a big marketing push a trial Download of Microsoft Office Standard 2007 (which, as we now know, has a WORD feature that was simply stolen from a small company. After the appeal is heard, it would be interesting how much justice money can buy. Leaving aside the 1.6 billion dollar fine Microsoft received from the European court and the unanswered question if it is still legal for the end user to use a stolen product, here is my problem (prior to this, I was most probably Microsoft's biggest fan, I almost prayed to Gates). When they ended my trial software, they also deleted my version of Microsoft Office Home and Student. There is no way for Microsoft to undo this action. It was again a simple theft of my property. Of course, I will have to buy a boxed version of Home and Student to prepare for the next theft and reinstall it when it occurs. and it will


P.S: What does OneNote actually do?

Answer by Alex Urbach

Microsoft works in a very strange way with its customers and products. As long as the license is valid, your products is safe, but there are problems when the license expires. It's a very tedious process that most users encounter with their products. It's best to buy a boxed version to avoid complications. The problem nowadays is that the new versions of Microsoft Office are available only for an online installation. You can buy versions of Office up to 2013 on disc. The other version is available as an online download/installation.


OneNote is used to create user notes (handwritten or typed), drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries.
