Thanks.
I discovered that "Update" only applies to putting a newer version of Windows 10 over an existing version of Windows 10. Installing Windows 10 over Windows 7 (or 11 over 10) is "Upgrade" -- which is what one gets when clicking under Installation Media >Download. (They should state there that the "Upgrade" option will be provided, but they don't mention it.)
Thanks!

It actually does, in the drop down for "upgrade to Windows 10".
