Installing MT7622/MT7623 images on MT7621 hardware

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I found that 19.07.0-rc2 is avalible and I only run 18.6.02. When I look in https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.0-rc2/targets/mediatek/, I dont see my hardware (MT7621) but I see MT7622 and MT7623. Is it possible to install either of these on my router or are the newer not compatible with my MT7621 system (Netgear R6220)?

But I run a MediaTek MT7621 system, Not a Ramips MT7621 system, Unless Ramips is a new name for MediaTek.

MediaTek folder only holds ARM MediaTek SoCs, MISP based architecture are made by Ralink (which bought by mediatek later) so the name ramips created, ra(link)+mips,
