Hi guys, I was running MX without issues but then decided to do a factory reset on PC.
Can you guide me to where I need to download the MX for first time? Or do I simply drag and drop the backup folders into the C drive and open MX?
Just a little confused to which link to use for a new download if I have to. Is it one of these?

Thanks!

Hi,
Can you guide me to where I need to download the MX for first time?
Yes, the second one
https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Software#Current_Release is the latest CMX release.
I download and unzip any new release in a separate C:\CumulusMX-new_version_download folder.
Or do I simply drag and drop the backup folders into the C drive and open MX?
After making a copy of my existing, I usually just copy all of C:\CumulusMX-new_version_download\CumulusMX files/folders and paste in the working C:\CumulusMX
You should read the release notes to be aware off and understand the differences that may have been made in the new release(s) compared yours.
Enjoy,
Paul

Excellent. I may have done a little different. I basically just copied and pasted the backup files I had into the new version folder. (backup, data, reports, create missing, and there was a Cumulus configuration file that wasn't in the new download folder)
All good now. Even the "catch up" worked smoothly. Nice job guys! Thanks!
