-Remember, that depending on the operating system, MX may require you to install extra components, such as Mono, not included in distribution, see [[Cumulus MX]] article for details.
+If you are going to run MX on  a different device to that running Cumulus 1, see [[Setting up Raspberry Pi]] article for details.  Although those notes are applicable to Linux operating systems, other Unix based systems, and those using the Mac operating system also need '''Mono''' to be installed. There is more information  about Mono in the main [[Cumulus MX]] article, and you should also read that.
+The remainder of this article was written assuming you are installing MX on the same Windows Operating System as you used for running Cumulus 1.  However, the files that you need to copy across from your Cumulus 1 installation to your MX installation remain the same whatever device you are installing MX on, although you may need to use File Transfer Process or a USB storage device to move the files to the new device.
+If anyone is willing to rewrite this article to cover moving to other devices better, please do.
