There can be only one definition of "current". The current one.

The "setup.exe and archive you've downloaded" both.

The same you choose when downloading. The directory with archived
mirror.

No. Select the directory containing the mirrors.

See above.

As has been said, that's not what you really need to do.

By doing a partial upgrade, you're more likely to "bork the thing".
