Windows users can choose between two available versions:

While all supported versions of OneNote are free to download and use, certain premium features can be unlocked with an optional Microsoft Office 2019 or Microsoft 365 subscription. Whether you’re on a PC, a Mac, in a browser, or on a mobile device, each version of OneNote lets you reliably access your cloud-connected notebooks to capture your thoughts and ideas, recall important information from anywhere, and easily share and collaborate with others. NOTE: The term "desktop" may also be short for desktop computer.No matter where you live, work, or roam, there’s a version of Microsoft OneNote to fit your needs. You can choose what items are shown on the desktop by selecting Finder → Preferences… and checking the items you want displayed. In Mac OS X 10.6, you can change the desktop background using the "Desktop & Screen Saver" system preference. In Windows 7, you can change the desktop background and select the default desktop icons within the "Personalization" control panel. Therefore, it may be helpful to store commonly used files, folders, and application shortcuts on your desktop.īoth the Windows and Macintosh operating systems allow you to customize the appearance of your desktop. Since the desktop is always present, items on the desktop can be accessed quickly, rather than requiring you to navigate through several directories. You can drag items to and from the desktop, just like a folder.

The desktop is visible on both Windows and Macintosh computers as long as an application or window is not filling up the entire screen. In Mac OS X, the desktop includes a menu bar at the top of the screen and the Dock at the bottom. In Windows, the desktop includes a task bar, which is located at the bottom of the screen by default. It includes the desktop background (or wallpaper) and icons of files and folders you may have saved to the desktop. When you boot up your computer, the desktop is displayed once the startup process is complete.

The desktop is the primary user interface of a computer.
