I'm sorry to read that. It really seems not to be possible to upgrade already from 22.04 to 24.04. Then your only option seems to be a fresh install.

That's another impossible way because you can't upgrade directly from 22.04 to 23.10. You would have to upgrade in several steps: 22.04 -> 22.10 -> 23.04 -> 23.10. And the intermediate releases 22.10 and 23.04 are probably no longer available for upgrades.
