Windows 10: Onedrive and onenote?

Hi Guys As I like my pc to be very minimilistic (no clutter), any progs/apps not needed, I ditch, but try to make sure they are not needed. At the moment, I question the need and value of the two in my subject. I know One Drive is a backup of sorts, not sure about One Note, can anyone advise please.

OneNote cannot connect to OneDrive


Windows 7 - No problem, I get a list of all my OneDrive folders for Web Locations.
Windows 10 - Doesn't connect me logged into OneDrive and I cannot select a location. *Mad
Note however, *Eek that if I follow the "Microsoft OneDrive" hyperlink right after the words "Web Location", it DOES open the OneDrive folder list automatically in a separate window, but that doesn't get me choice of locations on this screen so that I can choose a location. What's missing here? *Confused




My work around for now is to keep switching back to Win7 to use OneNote there when I need to create new notebooks on OneDrive.

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

OneDrive and OneNote

Do the notes saved in OneNote automatically become a part of the OneDrive? In my Nokia Lumia 630 (dual SIM), OneNote is a part of OneDrive although as far as I remember, I never did so. I don't want OneNote to be a part of OneDrive. Please, help.
