Update Using ZIP File

I'm having all sorts of problem (mainly google play store has stopped unexpectedly) and spend hours doing everything on the net to fix it. Nothing works including multiple factory rebuilds so I thought I would upgrade from Gingerbread to a later version. I have downloaded the zip files and put them on my sd card but all the net pages I have read say something like, choose zip from SD card, when in recovery mode to flash/install the software. My problem is that on my mini 2, in recovery mode, I have no option that mentions ZIP - I do have an option that says Apply Upgrade from sdcard. When I choose this option I can see and navigate my sd card but only at Directory level - I cannot see any files (i.e. the zip files). I am a little lost now what to do. Any advice appreciated.
