In the last screen, there is a quite visible (but apparently not enough visible) warning you to delete the "install" directory with a checkbox to tick that usually does it for you. But if it fails, you are sent back to "upgrade" (that is technically not wrong, but neither correct).
So what you have to do is to delete the directory named "install" present inside the elkarte one.

Way back when I used XAMPP I often ran into issues with software. I'm not sure what the deal was but it always gave me some level of grief. After XAMPP I moved to Wamp and it was much better for me.
These days I use a vagrant + virtualbox combo. That is probably a bit much for most folks, but it helps me with all of the various setups that I have to check and work on.

A new approach is may be to use windows subsystem linux (wsl) which should work great now compared to its previous version.
