Can You Still Upgrade Your ITunes Library To 256 Kbps With ITunes Match? 15th June 2020

I have seen details on line on how to upgrade your library to 256 Kbps using Itunes Match

You create a smart Playlist to highlight all songs on Icloud that are under 256 Kbps then delete and Match replaces files with the upgrade.

However when I try on my Windows PC (Win 10) I can a message that I will delete from ICloud aswell ,which I do not want to do. Is there a hidden there is no checkbox that I am missing or has Itunes removed this facility?

Thank you to anyone who can help me.

Hi,

Select remove download. This will remove your original file from your computer. The tracks will show the download icon - you can now download upgraded matched version. Please make sure that you make a backup of the original versions.
