Do you have an image called "test.jpg" in the images folder below where
your TW file is? I'm sure PMario did not mean to imply
that a file "test.jpg" will magically appear in the images directory. Your
image of your directory doesn't show the names of any
image files, so it's hard to give literal advice. If you do have "test.jpg"
in the images sub-directory, then when you close the tiddler
(leave the edit mode) the image of the file should appear.
You can then apparate that image from any other tiddler by transclusion:
{{test.jpg}}
Substitute the name of your image file wherever it says "test.jpg" above,
including in the _canonical_uri field.
On a side note, the last time I checked, OneNote was still free. Did they
change that?
Good luck!
