That’s one of the main reasons I prefer it: it’s simply more familiar as I switch between OneNote and other apps such as Word or Excel. Microsoft OneNote 2016 has the familiar Office ‘ribbon’ at the top. You can read more about that in a previous post I wrote here.
Because of its continuing popularity, the 2016 version of OneNote is still included in new Windows installations, or can be obtained as a standalone download.
After 2016, Microsoft changed tack and introduced the new ‘look and feel’ of what is now OneNote for Windows 10 and Microsoft 365. Every version of Office from 2003 onwards, up to and including Office 2016, included a version of OneNote. Microsoft OneNote is the Microsoft Office version of OneNote. I won’t be able to cover all the differences – that would probably take a book! But I will highlight those I consider important. I figured it might be easier to highlight some of the key things I like about each of the two versions separately. I continue to use OneNote for Windows 10 on one of my Windows laptops, mainly so I can continue to monitor the changes made in that version. In fact, I occasionally have both versions open on the one computer. Right upfront, it is worth noting that both versions sync together so it is perfectly viable to switch between both versions. However, as Vince rightly pointed out, I did not really go into much detail in that previous post about why I prefer Microsoft OneNote 2016 over the Windows 10 version. Microsoft OneNote 2016, which is now simply called Microsoft OneNote, is still my preferred version.
I will attempt to update this article in line with any significant future changes. One comment was a question from a reader (thanks Vince) who asked: ‘Geoff, what are the advantages of using OneNote for Windows 10 ?’ This is a great question and so I thought I’d answer it here so you can all read it.īy the way, one of the dangers of writing an article like this is that it can quickly become out of date after Microsoft make changes to their software.
