Linux Data Migration

I am planning a move from Windows to Debian 12. I have researched the different posts and I think I have a handle on prerequisites and installing MX but what I haven't seen (and may not be possible) is there a way to migrate the data from my windows installation to the Linux install so I don't lose the historical data collected? I searched but haven't run across anything that says it is possible or how to do it.
Thanks,
Terry

I did this some time ago and had no issues with my CMX data. I just copied it over. The only thing to be aware of is that in text files the line endings are different CR/LF in Windows and LF in Linux, but this will not affect CMX but if you have other programs/scripts it could affect them. One which does have issues currently is WXSim weather forecasting program if used.

Thanks Stuart,
I will proceed with planning and give it a go. At this point I only run Cumulus, I haven't added any other utilities to it yet but may later. I don't have but about 6 months of data so I may just let it start over and avoid issues later after I have forgotten about the line terminators
Thanks Again,
Terry
