To answer your question, I had 22 S Notes on my Note 5. On all my previous Note phones I never synced with Evernote or Samsung. With the Note 5, I went into S-Notes and I selected them all and hit share. It will give you 3 options to convert to another type of file. I shared as S-Notes and just emailed them all to myself. Once I got the Note 7, I just dragged all the S-Notes from a folder on my desktop to my microsd. I then proceeded to open S-Notes app and it immediately tells you that there are S-Notes files on the phone. It went ahead and scanned and voila, they will all be there...Hope this helps!
