Message ID: MC1035701

As we continue to enhance OneNote with a unified and modern experience, we want to remind you that OneNote for Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. To avoid disruptions, we strongly urge your organization to fully transition to OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) and uninstall the legacy application as soon as possible. Migrating ensures continued access to the latest features, security updates, and a modernized experience.

[When this will happen:]

OneNote for Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025.

How this affects your organization:]

Enhanced Security & Compliance: OneNote for Windows 10 does not support Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labeling, which is essential for securing sensitive data. Users relying on outdated versions will lose access to labeled content.
New Features & AI-Powered Copilot: OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) is the future of OneNote, with continuous investment in AI-powered features like Copilot to enhance productivity.
Improved Performance & Support: The legacy version no longer receives updates or bug fixes, leading to potential performance issues and reduced functionality.
Faster Sync & Collaboration: Starting June 2025, users of OneNote for Windows 10 will experience slower sync performance, impacting real-time collaboration and multi-device access.
Uninterrupted OneNote Experience: Beginning July 2025, users of OneNote for Windows 10 will see in-app banners prompting them to switch to OneNote (M365), which could impact their workflows.

The upcoming changes to OneNote are certainly generating a buzz, and for good reason! With the end of support for OneNote for Windows 10 looming on October 14, 2025, both admins and users need to prepare for a shift that’s more than just a software update—it’s a leap into a more secure and feature-rich environment.

For admins, this transition may feel like trying to herd cats, but fear not! The migration to OneNote (M365) not only enhances security with Microsoft Information Protection sensitivity labeling but also introduces a suite of new features, including the much-anticipated AI-powered Copilot. This means admins can breathe a little easier knowing that sensitive data will be better protected and that their users will have access to cutting-edge tools designed to boost productivity.

On the user side, the changes promise an improved experience that could make even the most die-hard fans of the legacy version consider a change of heart. Imagine faster sync times, seamless collaboration, and a modern interface that doesn’t feel like it’s stuck in the past! However, users need to be aware that clinging to the outdated version will lead to slower performance and potential disruptions in their workflows. After all, nobody wants to be the one left behind when the digital parade rolls through!

The impact of these changes will be significant. When users transition to OneNote (M365), they’ll not only gain access to the latest features but will also experience a more reliable and robust platform. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to impress their colleagues with a smoother, more efficient way to take notes?

So, as we gear up for this migration, let’s hear your thoughts! How do you think this update will affect your workflow? Are you ready to embrace the new features, or do you have reservations?
