As low IQ person, buyer of MLO Android version 4, I'm unable to find learning sources for one using only Android version on single mobile. Nor I could find and templates like GTD and anything else. I don't own PC. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think there is any way to set a single task to recur twice in a
month.
 
A simple solution would be to create two separate tasks, one recurring
monthly on day 10 of every month and one recurring monthly on day 25 of
every month.
 
Another option is to create a task that recurs monthly on day 25 of every
month. (In the advanced options, make sure to set "Reset all subtasks to
uncompleted" and "Disable automatic recurrence. I think these are the
default settings.)
Create a subtask under that monthly task. Set the due date of the subtask
to day 10 of next month, with no recurrence.
 
The subtask will be available due on the 10th. When you complete that task,
then the parent task will become available due on the 25th.
When the parent task is completed, it will reset to the 25th of next month,
and the subtask will reset to the 10th day of next month.

I started with MLO coming from Toodledo iOS synced from Windows desktop
Outlook with gSyncit for over 10 years. I'm a retired construction company
founder having made a niche with CPM scheduling when the competition had no
idea. So given those two factors, getting my head around MLO is no simple
task.
My initial question- I've finally got reasonably OK views setup but after
now seeing the offered templates I'd love to try one or two but not wipe
out my current. Is that a reasonable ask?

It's taken a lot of guess work, interpreting docs and misses to get to
where I am currently-- trying to align as best as possible my main views
between the two platforms. The one obvious fail- the iOS shows completed
whereas the Win view I largely use does not. I tried not showing completed
in iOS but that messed up the view more. Is there a config file I can post
for each so you all can spot where I'm going wrong?
The basis for both views (hopefully) are all not completed tasks sorted by
due date and similar but due within 7 days.

To the rescue!

I remember when I bought MLO many years ago. I had no idea what to do!

The bad news: It's a steep learning curve, much of which you learn by tinkering/trying/experimenting. Exactly like a video game. You just kind of try things and eventually figure it out.

The two goods: MLO desktop is just as good as Android, and vice versa. I use both. Desktop at home, Android on the road.  And the other good is that once you figure it out, you'll be amazed what you can do. Plus, a year from now you'll be finding out things you can do that you didn't know even after you first figured it all out.

SUPPORT: Just ask this forum if you get stuck. No question is too dumb, trust me.
