Correct.

Wrong. You need to book a flexible ticket in Economy to upgrade, for other cabins any ticket will do. For this reason, as has been stated about 2 zillion times on this forum, upgrading with Avios from Economy is usually pointless as the cheapest WT+ fare is often cheaper or similar to a fully flexible Economy fare.

Welcome to Flyer Talk !

I'd suggest availing yourself of the stickies at the top of the forum; this information together with much more is available there.
