Want Outlook/got OneNote. What do I do?

[Windsor]

I recently bought a laptop (which means its too old. LOL). It came with
Microsoft Office with OneNote. I have yet to find the usefullness of that
program. I hear everyone talking about Outlook. I want this, but I dont want
to purchase office over again, can I upgrade to Outlook and delete OneNote
and just pay the difference?

Outlook is available as a standalone program. Other than the cat that
"everyone is talking about Outlook", have you looked to see what it is/can
do? I have it but I could certainly do without it. Windows Mail does what I
need.

No and No. You need to purchase Outlook and there is no way around it

And to answer the unasked question... OneNote and Outlook serve entirely
different purposes. Outlook is for email, contact lists,
appointments/calendar, etc. OneNote is for organizing information. Like you,
I've yet to find its usefulness (tried it, but it doesn't "think" the same
way I do), but I'm sure there are many who find it infinitely useful.

So... you cannot upgrade from OneNote to Outlook. That'd be like upgrading
from a hammer to a barometer.
