Good morning, Microsoft Support Community Team!

 Is there a reputable free tool for migrating my Evernote notes to OneNote?  While I like the Microsoft suite of applications, I had stayed with Evernote due to the sheer volume of notes that I had built up there since 2014.  The free Evernote tier is not as capable nor as free anymore, which is Karma's way of telling me, "Yo, dude, it's time to take the long overdue plunge into OneNote."

 I should have made the migration to OneNote years ago since the [https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote](https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote "www.onenote.com") importer tool has gone 404.

    Thanks for your observations.

    For some reason the import app just worked partially for me. Some notes in a notebook synced OK and others didn't. Weirdly, I could see some stuff OK in the "full" version of OneNote in the PC (which I used to import, as per the instructions for the tool) but parts then didn't show up in the web, Windows lite or Android versions of OneNote. But there was other pages I could see in the light versions that I couldn't see in the original. Very strange!

    I am almost certain the problem is OneNote's rather than the import tool's. I have had this problem before with incomplete syncs across OneNote devices (I can't even access two Notebooks at all from one device), despite the fact that supposedly all Notebooks sync to the same OneDrive location from wherever.

    One downside of the app for me is that tabs in Evernote are converted into sections, with duplication of notes as pages in each respective section. As I use quite a lot of tabs, there are way too many duplicated pages. With 14,000 notes in Evernote I just can't for through and tidy everything so I may continue to see if there are other options.

    I have lots of Evernote notebooks nested in stacks. I think the retired OneNote importer made stacks into OneNote notebooks and notebooks into OneNote sections, with notes turning into pages. It worked for me. Tabs were lost, though, so I only imported a couple of notebook stacks and thought I'd wait in case they improved the tool. Hah. Silly me.

    I don't like OneNote as much as Evernote, with all its recent flaws, but I just can't hack a 271% subscription hike over two years (I was a low-rung paying subscriber) so I'm leaving when the legacy version shuts down and my current sub runs out (soon after).

    I'm aware that there are sync issues with OneNote (also with OneDrive, as I found out on a recent trip, to my cost) but then I had problems and with lost critical content in Evernote too, due to sync glitches since version 10.
