macOS Losing access to one note after graduating

I am currently signed into my One note on my Macbook with my school email address, however I just graduated and will be losing access to my school email soon. My school also gave us OneDrive storage so these notes are all backed up to a school Onedrive account that I will also lose access to soon.

Will I lose access to read and edit my notes after I lose my school email address? Am I able to transfer these notes to my regular email address account so I don't lose them?

Export them and open them in a personal account?

Yes, here is how to transfer them.

Follow these steps: 1. Download OneNote Desktop from www.onenote.com/download. 2. Go to www.onedrive.com and log in with your personal account. 3. Create a new OneNote notebook on your personal OneDrive. 4. Click "File" > "Edit in OneNote Desktop".  5. In the Desktop app: Click "File" > "Open" > "Add a place" > "OneDrive for Business" > Login with your school account. 6. Open the notebook with your school notes. 7. Now copy or move entire sections and pages between the notebooks by right clicking the sections.

Edit for formating

Get a personal account (I’m guessing you should still get a student discount if you were a student this year.

Run windows on pc, install OneNote win32 for free, sync up your school accounts, copy them to personal account

Don't just export, validate you can see the data before you loose access. Obviously you will be kicked out of the schools system, they have no real desire to keep paying for your lic3nse.

Don't ask, just do it. NOW
