I was happy using the original Cumulus software for more than a decade. When I saw that Mark Crossley's development work on MX had made the functionality similar in that flavour, I decided to give MX a try without affecting my Cumulus 1 installation.
 
Here is exactly what I did on my ex NHS Windows 10 Pro PC, step by step; I am hoping this list might help some readers who choose to stay with a Windows PC. Once I was happy with MX, I moved to using a Raspberry Pi computer, and what I did then iswas ontaken from the [[Setting up Raspberry PiMX_on_Linux]] page.

== Final notes==
 
My installation of Cumulus MX has succeeded, and as the experiment did help me find a mistake in one of my Cumulus templates where I had not defined input parameters for "[[Recent Historyhistory]]", it has been useful. I am continuing to use Cumulus 1, until I am absolutely sure MX can do everything I want.
 
I believe MX will do some tasks better, but there is a lot more to learn about how to use MX. MX does lack some features that I used in Cumulus 1. I found the View Period screen in Cumulus 1, where you could look at any day, week, month, season, or year in the past extremely useful. MX does not have such functionality yet.
