S7 - New firmware! (but can't install it)

I see my long forgotten S7's seem to have finally gotten some firwmare love. Sadly if I try to install it, I get this error
This is the upload in the download centre. I have the right version, etc., My units are the 1.5.2 build shown as the prior release. Why can't I upgrade?

Hi, nice to see you again.
The minimum supported firmware version of 1.6.1 Build 20250808 is 1.6.0 Build 20250728, which is somehow not uploaded on the local UK site.(You can find it on the /en global site:https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/deco-s7/#Firmware.) So if you want to update to 1.6.1, you might need to manually update to the 1.6.0 version first, then to 1.6.1 later.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

@pjs_gsy Anyone has a clue what changed?

@LP-De not me. Changelongs are, well, a little lacking in details, lol. But, it says you cannot go backwards, so I'm guessing decent structure changes. No ill effect for me yet. Security fixes only perhaps. Still - Plenty of issues to fix and hoping they do keep at it.
