I also decided after 15 years! yes my first note was 2006! to move to onenote.  No hard feelings towards Evernote, just I'm paying for office anyway and use OneNote a lot and  direction of travel of evernote seems not to fit with what I want from it.  It's just it used to be fun product (I really only use it for fun, I'm not trying to become a productivity ninja or somesuch).  So anyways I had 3,000 or so notes so not as many as many and a year ago I experimented and got them into OneNote using the MS tool.  

Then had second throughts and deleted much out of OneNote.  So then last month decided I would definitely move (my subscription was coming up for renewal) and the one note importer just didn't work at all.  (with that error posted above).  Tore my hair out, tried the stefan thing and spent hours and hours trying to get it to work.  No joy.

Then this week came across OneNoteGem http://www.onenotegem.com/a/addins/onenote-batch.html batch processor.

I have no skills to vouch for this in terms of security so please don't take this as a recommendation.

But, I emailed the chap and he said download it and try it.  In free mode it will import one evernote note to one onenote note at a time.  That worked for notes, notes with attached files, notes with pdfs.  PDFS become just attached pdfs, not displayed.

My OneNote is a Microsoft 365 subscription product, and the client I use (About OneNote) comes up as

Microsoft OneNote for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.14326.20384) 64 bit

and I used the OneNote Batch 21 version

Then paid for license, got a license key in 4 hours (it does say they are processed by hand).  And then I imported by exporting to ENEX from legacy Evernote one notebook at a time.  And then importing into OneNote using this program one notebook at a time.  I had one notebook that created 1Gb enex file so I broke that down into 200 notes each.  But that meant one was still 400mb.  

And it took an hour or so to do this but now it is all done, and every note I've checked has been fine.

I have a sense of nervousness that there is some malware in it, but nothing bad has happened so far and I do have all my notes out of evernote into onenote.

Does this mean Version 6 didnt help? I have the same issue on Mac and waiting day and night for a fix

No sorry Version 6 is fine.

My bug support ticket has been closed with:

Upon checking, spell checker preferences is not yet available in the new version of the app. We haven’t built this feature into the new Evernote app. This is one of a handful of  features we are still considering. Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you. I will share this information with our product team.

While we encourage everyone to give the new Evernote app a try, we recognize that there are some scenarios where using an older version is necessary or desired.

You can download the Evernote Legacy app by following the instructions in this Help & Learning article: Install an older version of Evernote.

 

So I'm giving up with the new version 10 and going back to the old version.

Like the other people on this thread I'm disappointed and surprised.  But maybe we're the minority

I uninstalled version 10 and started using Evernote 6 again.  Then tried out moving to OneNote that I pay for anyway with  Microsoft subscription. 

The importer is here: https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote

But I recommend experimenting if you have a lot of notes with a small notebook.  I mistakenly ticked use labels as tabs or some such and ended up with one note notebooks with a gazillion tabs which I didn't like. 

That was OK but then I wondered if the spellcheck was fixed and tried version 10 again.

No joy; I have a support ticket open so fingers crossed.

I've been paying for evernote for ages, first note I had was Sep 25 2006.  And for the first time I'm thinking of stopping the subscription, it is absolutely unbearable seeing little red squiggles all the time.

The funniest one is that the word 

Evernote 

itself comes up as mis-spelt.  (as well as my own name, though I don't type that very often so just noticed). Hilariously bad.

I gave up after 10 minutes and have gone back to v6.

I just uninstalled version 10 and gone back to version 6.  It should respect the Windows settings not to highlight the words it doesn't like  but it doesn't.
