OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10
Ryan, That was not my experience when I tried it out last week. The "new" OneNote did not recognize my "old" notebook. I'll try it again and take a closer look. I hope you're correct because it will be a real PIA to manually copy all my sections and pages from my "old" notebook.
you should be able to open your old notebook from OneDrive inside OneNote on Windows; File > Open will show a list of your notebooks although you may need to tell it about your Microsoft/OneDrive account if you don't see it there. the file formats are different so don't try to open the local files.
As I wrote, that's not my experience. I only have one Microsoft account and I can 'see' the old notebooks from the new OneNote but, as you wrote, you can't open the old notebooks because the format is no longer used. Please tell me how I can 'import' the contents of my old notebook to a new one.
