Then I have been following the procedures in this link <Upgrading legacy file-based TMs from Upgrade wizard> to upgrade my TM, but have been facing a problem with it that I could not resolve.

My first question would be why are you doing this?  You do not need to upgrade SDLTM translation memories from one version to the next.  There is a mis-named feature in Trados Studio called "Upgrade" but this is just preparing a TM  to be able to maximise its use for fragment matching etc.  It's not needed to be able to work from one version to the next.

I exported my TM files in Trados 2022 as TMX files, installed the Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack and TM optimizer.

What you have done here is export your SDLTM to a TMX and are then trying to find a way to upgrade the TMX back to an SDLTM again.  This is something you don't need to do as you started with an SDLTM in the first place.  The "Upgrade" feature you are trying to use is in the app you tried to download but that isn't a process you really need to go through.

I think this is probably because you have downloaded the wrong version of that app for your version of Trados Studio.  It makes sense for you to always take the app from the integrated appstore built into Trados Studio, and then you always get the right one:

But do note that don't need to do this at all!

Many thanks for your great help. It seems that I've done a big mess. 

So, there's no need to upgrade Trados Studio 2022 TMs to use them with Trados Studio 2024. They should work with Trados 2024 automatically without extra procedures.

The only thing you might have to do, although it's not mandatory, is to use the "Upgrade" within the product (not the app) so that you can extract the fragments for additional leverage while working.

I cannot find enough words to thank you for your significant help, patience and time. All my problems were resolved in one go.

Thank you too for this useful advice. I'll use the "Upgrade" within the product.

Thank you very much for everything.
