How do I download or transfer OneNote notebooks from a school account on PC?

I created a Microsoft OneNote account using my school email. I am graduating soon and my email will be deleted and I may lose access to OneNote. I want to download or transfer my notebooks somewhere else. I have an entire year's worth of notes on it (almost 10 different notebooks). I have learned that the option to export notebooks is unavailable with a Business or SharePoint account, which I guess a school account falls under. I saw on these forums that there was a work-around on this for a Mac user. Is there any way to do it on PC?

    you may try to use a Window computer and try the OneNote 2016 app. Using OneNote 2016 to transfer notebooks is the quickest way to transfer notebooks.

    You can install OneNote 2016 for Windows application from this article to install the OneNote 2016 for Windows application.
