Download Microsoft OneNote 2013 Full Version for Free

OneNote is a to-do and note taking program from Microsoft which comes bundled with Microsoft Office suite. It allows users to save notes in various formats such as typed, handwritten, drawings, clips, audio, etc.

In past, OneNote was not available as a separate program. Users had to purchase and install the full Office suite to use OneNote program. Last year, Microsoft decided to provide OneNote 2013 as a standalone program and they released a restricted version of OneNote to public as a free download. In that restricted version of OneNote several features were disabled or removed.

Now some good news! Microsoft has released a fully functional standalone version of OneNote 2013 for free to public which comes without any restriction.

  1. It would seem that after installing it, it’s telling me I have to subscribe (at substantial cost) to MS Office Online. Not doing it.

  2. Thanks you very much!

    I installed the 64bit version and it install the oneNote 2016! thanks to microsoft for the update!

    it seems to be the full version, someone can ensure that or tell the different?

  3. Can some one tell me where I can get a version of onenote 2013 as the 2016 version appears to have issues with linking to one drive

  4. Hello VG, I have an unusual issue with Windows 10 built in OneNote Version 16001.11126.20076.0. I’m on Windows 10 version 1903 (OS Build 18362.175) I also had the same issue with previous version of Windows 10.
    The issue I’m having with OneNote; It will open up today, then a few days later I come back and open it only to crash and exit without any warning. Then I go to Settings under Apps and terminate OneNote and Reset it and voila it works again.
    However the issue starts all over again after a few days when it’s not opened and I have to go and reset it all over again. So far I’ve not lost any of my information I’ve wrote on it. But I’m afraid that something will give eventually especially with continuous crashes from OneNote.
    Can you please look at this issue and see if there is a way to prevent the crash issue. Thanks in advance.

  5. ^^ Try to disable “Let apps run in the background” option under “Settings -> Privacy -> Background apps” page.

  6. Thanks VG, I’ve done as you mentioned. I’ll wait by the end of the week and return with a reply letting you know if it worked or not. Thanks again.

  7. Hello VG, I waited until this day to see if the issue will occur again (One full week), and sadly I have to say I’ve had to reset it two times again. I did it the second time just before the writing of this message.
    I did exactly as you described but don’t know what else to do.
    Hope in some way you can find a solution of if anyone in the forum here knows of a solution to help, I’ll really appreciate it very much.

  8. ^^ It seems some files or registry keys are corrupt in your Windows 10 device. I can only advise to try Reset PC option in Windows 10 which will restore your device to factory settings.

  9. VG I beg to differ because I’ve been using Onenote since Windows 10 1809 release.
    I’ve since updated to Windows 10 version 1903 (OS Build 18362.239) updated a few days ago.
    I reinstalled Windows approx a month ago and it started from that time to the present.
    I personally don’t believe that the registry is corrupted where it will affect Onenote, if it was then when I reset Onenote it’s back up and running for a few days then it crashes after a few days.
    Windows Defender is working in all sections of my windows. I’ve not blocked it from any of my directories etc.
    I also have a few installed software like Mirillis Action, Adobe Photoshop 2019, VMware Workstation, Winrar, WhatsApp for desktop PC, Adobe Audition, TubeDigger, Serif Affinity Photo Firefox & Thunderbird.
    I don’t think any of these software will cause Onenote to crash!

  10. Hello VG I hope all is well (Covid 19) with you and your family.

    Picking up from my issues with OneNote; I uninstalled it from my PC with the thought of doing so and reinstall would fix the issue! Well! that only made matter worse for me, in that I could not even get it installed, giving me an “Error 0x800706D9”
    All that has been going on for the past few months since my last interaction here.

    I finally found a way for it to reinstall…I did have my Printer disabled so I went to Services and enabled the Print Spooler, then went to the Microsoft Store and was able to reinstall OneNote and now it’s working.

    Just thought I’d give a feedback so others having similar issues can probably solve their own.

    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE.
