Before we begin
we need to talk about
one kind of file
that
shouldn’t be moved as most files can be moved.
These are OneNote Notebooks.
OneNote Notebooks require a different set of
steps to be moved successfully.
If you have OneNote Notebooks that were
originally saved to your local computer or
myFiles,
follow these instructions to
successfully move them
.
OK, let’s get
started moving
your files into your

on your
Task
bar
