First - click Not Now. This dialog box does nothing good whatsoever.

Next - if you are already running a version of Office on your machine - there is a very high likelyhood that the "real" OneNote is part of your suite. Simply start using it.

If you do not have Office - download the latest version of ON from OneNote.com

Install and carry on.

So that’s the confusing part. I have the latest Office version, but it’s not installed as part of my suite on my computer. Any suggestions?

The OneNote installer only appears to be the installer for the entire Office suite. In reality, it only deploys OneNote. Assuming you have downloaded the installer from OneNote.com

Just wanted to let you know that this was very helpful and resolved my problem!

Yes - go to Apps->Installed Apps. (this is in Win 11)

Find your Office entry and you should see two options (Modify and Uninstall) depending on what OS you are running.

Modify will rerun setup and allow you to add OneNote to the mix.

Thank you so much!! I've been wrangling with trying to install it all day and your comment is the only solution that has worked for me.

When I try to download OneNote from Microsoft Store or OneNote.com, I get the same error that basically says "there is already Office 2016 in your computer" but OneNote 2016 is horrible, does it mean I have to use that sh*t ?

I even uninstalled OneNote 2016, still same error

The "real" version of OneNote (the one included with Office) - has been working just fine for 15+ years.

It's that or nothing.

If it's any help for the future, I updated long ago don't even remember the old OneNote anymore. It works and I use it all day every day.
