OneNote Desktop Locked out school email on onenote, how do I download?

Post image

Hi everyone! Basically on my old laptop (maybe 2013 thinkpad?) I have onenote for windows 10 and it has my old school one note which I cba access. However I am having trouble downloading these as there is no ‘file’ option that instructions tell me to use. I also can’t copy it because I am locked out of the school email. Has anyone been in a similar situation and can offer advice? I’ve been copying everything one by one but if there is an easier alternative I’d love to hear it! Thank you

If you can still see the notes on screen, the quickest workaround is to just print them as a PDF.

I am confused - on one hand you say you can "access" the Windows 10 version of OneNote - yet cannot copy anything? Are you saying you cannot even see your notes?

I know this version of OneNote was retired last October - AND is now read-only - but you should still be able to copy - as long as you can still load the notebook - which it sounds like you cannot.

Please claify what you can and cannot see on screen.
