== What I did to Install MX ==
== What I did to Install MX ==
I have used Cumulus 1 for a decade or so, and been very happy with it, but I wanted to give MX a go 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.  Can I just stress I downloaded version 3.4.5 (build 3069), there may be some changes that affect what I record below in more recent versions, I just noted what I had to do at that moment in time. For example from version 3.5.0 the obsolete Highstocks I mention below is no longer included in the MX package, instead MX uses the online latest version.
