Upgrade from OpenWrt 19.07.8 to 23.05.2

One of the replies above goes, "That link is not about your router because it is using LEDE." That statement is incorrect. If the link in the original post is not about my router, that would be owing to the distinction between v2 vs. v5 of the router model. LEDE vs. OpenWrit distcintion has nothing to do with router model. Also, there is no LEDE v19, and I am starting from OpenWrt v19 already installed. Therefore the linked post (including the answer by psherman) is about my router (subject to it being v5). I add this for anybody else reading this post and possibly being confused by incorrect information.

I am running LuCI LEDE 17.0.2

I do not know how I got thrown under the bus so inaccurately.
In the other thread they were on LEDE 17.0.2. Or so they said and were not corrected.

For my TPLink Archer ac1750 c7 v5, I am having to upgrade from 19.07.8 to 23.05.2.

So that thread was not about your situation and we have so many people come in using translators I have to do my best to not be misunderstood.
Router, version, whatever, it was not your situation.

Matter of fact that page I linked says nothing about having to do incremental upgrades, for your V5, other than:

"For Archer C7 v5 OEM fw 1.0.11 Build 20190726 the router refuse install OpenWrt v21.02 from OEM's firmware-upgrade page or via TFTP, but it's possible to install OpenWrt v19.07.2 using the OEM UI, and from that do the upgrade to v21.02 using LuCI."

I actually did read the page about your router.
