With today's OneNote for Mac update in the App Store (version 15.7.1), we've changed the minimum system requirements for OneNote to take advantage of the latest and greatest capabilities in Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10). Yosemite (10.10) is a free upgrade and is supported on the same hardware as Mavericks (10.9).
If you previously installed OneNote for Mac and are on OS X Mavericks (10.9), you can continue using the older version of OneNote for Mac, however in order to get today's update or any future OneNote updates, you must upgrade your OS to Yosemite 10.10 or later.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Where can I get OneNote for Mavericks. I downgraded from Yosemite to Mavericks. Thanks.
Yosemite is free, sure, but it is a horrible operating system. Like the other reply, our family downgraded back to Mavericks, which is MUCH better. So, again, if we want to use OneNote, how do we get a version for Mavericks? Also, forcing folks to upgrade for no apparent reason, or locking in to one version of an OS does not seem very sensible.

What's horrible about Yosemite?
Well, for one, it is plain ugly. It is the worst operating system Apple has put out in a long time. The bugs are bad and Mavericks is much better. Bugs are not a matter of opinion, they are what they are. Yosemite was renaming my wife's computer and messing up her Time Machine backups.
As as an opinion, it is an ugly user interface, but I will not deal with th ugly unless it works well or has some killer feature I really want. It has neither.
But, OneNote should be available for Mavericks.
Okay, now I understand: you have been expressing your opinion.
Unlike you, I love the new design. I also do not experience any serious problems so far, despite the fact that I'm mostly working with beta versions of Yosemite.
