Are Krisflyer miles the same as M&M miles, or am I out of luck?
Sorry for being such a noob
KrisFlyer miles are very different than M+M miles.
They are from different airline programs. You can't mix the two.
It looks like you want to use accrued LH (M+M) miles?
If so, you need to look at the upgrade award charts on the M+M page.
You can book a lower class of economy and still upgrade on LH flights using M+M miles.
If you want to fly another carrier (SQ, NZ) and use M+M miles to upgrade, then you have to try for a *A upgrade and that means purchasing a Y or B ticket.
