You can try turning on debug on error with
M-x toggle-debug-on-error
which might give you a backtrace that will provide more details.
I would also try executing the command
soffice --headless --convert-to odt --outdir "c:/Users/donni/OneDrive/Documents/" "c:/Users/donni/OneDrive/Documents/belvoire.odt"
at a command prompt and see if you get any additonal information. I've
not done odt exports of org files, but that command line looks odd to me
- it looks like it is trying to convert an odt file to odt?
I suspect you will have a hard time getting all this to work on Windows.
It is possible, but as Windows is not a 'preferred' platform, you have a
significant amount of configuration/customisation to do to get it
working.
I never use Windows, so cannot provide much help of any real substance.
I do wonder if it might be easier if you use WSL?
