Answer:

OneNote is free, but Office is not.
Since you have Office installed, you will need to purchase it to activate Office. Office includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.

If you want to only OneNote, not Word, Excel, PowerPoint. You can uninstall Office and then download the OneNote installation package from OneNote.com, and install single OneNote for free.
