There is no harm in trying the following steps, but whether this simple approach works, really does depend on what parts of Cumulus functionality you actually use, and how you had your legacy Cumulus working, as each subsection below explains. | |||
# Copy the configuration files ('''Cumulus.ini''' and the optional '''strings.ini''') from the directory with Cumulus.exe in it to the directory with CumulusMX.exe in it | |||
# Copy all the [[:Category:Ini Files|extreme tracking files]] and the [[:Category:Files with Comma Separated Values|files with your your data]] in the old [[Data folder]] across to MX folder with same name | |||
# If you have files in the [[Reports folder]], copy them across to the MX folder of same name | |||
