Moving from Evernote to Onenote - it seems like I really need to put everything in one huge Onenote
If you're interested in reading about my experience, good and bad, I wrote a blog post:

I was an EN premium user. I'm very happy with OneNote, but, yes, the conversion process could be much better without much effort on their part. They have MORE hierarchical capability than EN, so they should be able to easily map EN's 4 levels.
And I LOVE dark mode...
I want to move to Onenote but I too feel that it would be a huge job with 16,000 notes. The one big attraction of Evernote is the tagging, which I can't see how I would replicate on Onenote. I've been hanging on (a very long time) with Evernote for their new version and now it has arrived I wish I hadn't waited. I lasted one day with version 10 for Windows. It mangled the note I was working on that day, and lost 33 other notes - I've no idea what has been lost, and from other posts I was lucky at only 33! The version is more like an early beta version. I've gone back to version 6.25.
If it helps, I wrote a series of blog posts about my experience making the move:

Bottom line: I'm very happy I made the switch. I find the essentially-unlimited hierarchy in Onenote to be a big advantage. The search is better as well. I never miss Evernote.
Did Evernote for Windows ever get dark mode?
Paul_Zimmer Interesting blog. The dark mode never made my top 500 so, sorry, I never noticed as whether it was an option on EN version 10 - in my truly short and disastrous experience. I am working with EN's tech team to see if they can locate my missing notes. They asked for the log files, and after looking at the errors listed, I feel that I may have more problem than my missing 33 notes!
My problem moving to ON is what am I going to do about the EN tags - I have around 12,000 notes in a genealogy notebook with maybe 20 to 30,000 tags. Example a UK 1911 census where everyone in the family is tagged - tags of each person - maybe a dozen in a family - a tag for 1911 census.
As I typed this, I received a reply from EN technical team regarding my missing notes- in short another reason to move!
