XLS to XLSX

Hi, 

 

I will start by saying I don't want to use 3rd party software due to sensitive information.  I've also read through many posts on this already and they differed slightly from what I am trying to do.

 

Reports are emailed to me daily in an XLS format.  I have a flow set up to move those email attachments to a folder.  In the process, however, I would like to convert it from the old Excel format to the new format (XLS -> XLSX).  

 

I tried following the steps in this video but at 0:55 when she launched Power Automate Desktop, my screen didn't have the "Set up input fields" window that she showed.   Maybe there was an update since this video was released?  Or maybe I am just doing this wrong...I am still new to Power Automate.  

 

I tried using this but couldn't figure it out and it uses a manual trigger.  I receive files daily and don't want to update anything manually.

 

Here is my flow so far.  Any thoughts on how to make this work?
