If you are still using the original Cumulus software; the articles linked in the heading should help you decide whether to migrate to MX, and how to do it.
Whether you have been using Cumulus 1, or are new to Cumulus, you may be tempted to install MX on a PC, or other device, running Windows Operating System; the article linked in the heading will help you.▼

You may be tempted to install MX on a Raspberry Pi, operating in headless mode (instead of connecting a screen and keyboard to it, you do all access to the Pi from another computer on same network).

So read the article linked in the section heading whether you are still using Steve Loft's beta version of MX or an old Mark Crossley release.
A new FAQ for MX has been started at [[Cumulus_MX_FAQ|another page]]. As I add the link here, the Cumulus MX FAQ is in a mess, but hopefully someone will have time to sort it out.
The [[MX Issues|Cumulus MX Known Issues]] article was based on [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=12943 Steve Loft's forum post] so based on an early beta version of MX, and there has been minimal attempt to update the contents as MX has been developed further and come out of the original beta. <big>Anyone willing to check the linked article and do a further update?</big>
