.kobo.com/firmwares/kobo4/Oct2024/kobo-update-4.38.23171.zip
and this I should replace with the new firmware, if I have properly understood.

When you've got the SD card mounted on your computer, look at the FAT32 partition. It should contain a folder called ".kobo" in the root directory - see my first screenshot for what it looks like in Windows 11. Open that directory.
Now go to the kobo-update-4.38.23171.zip that you downloaded. Open that. Take the contents and put them in KOBOeReader\.kobo* - see my second screenshot. The last three items in the list (the ones highlighted) will be what you've just added.
Now eject the SD card from your computer and replace it in the e-reader.
Turn the e-reader on and wait a few seconds. It should automatically update with the new firmware.
*Sorry - it'd be KOBOeReader\.kobo if you had the device plugged in. Please substitute whatever your computer calls the SD card for "KOBOeReader".
