But there is no link or button next to that line.

Yes, this somewhat cryptic hint (at least the UWP app is also running on a Windows desktop) is referring to OneNote 2016. There is an additional line of text that says “Also available on Windows desktop”. This is not OneNote 2016 but the Windows 10 UWP app instead.

If you navigate to the download page for OneNote with a web browser ( ) on a Windows 10 system, you are greeted with “OneNote is already installed on Windows 10” and a button to open it.
