How can you upgrade 192 Kbps songs in iTunes Match to 256 Kbps

Want to upgrade songs on iTunes Match that are less than 256 Kbps and don't know how to accomplish. I have checked various forums for answers, but everything I'm reading are responses from 2012, which is obviously out-of-date. None of the articles are current, thus if anyone knows how to upgrade songs on iTunes Match, I would greatly appreciate the assistance. PS- using "Help" on Apple hasn't provided any solutions or answers either. Thank you!

Check that a song you want to upgrade is marked as matched in the iCloud Status column. Right-click on it and click Remove Download from the context menu. Click the cloud icon that appears to download the 265k matched copy. I would recommend that you backup your library first, just in case the matched copy doesn't meet your expectations, e.g. you a clean version instead of an explicit version. Once you're happy with the process you can apply it to a batch of tracks rather than working one at a time.
