You might want to check the archive you've downloaded. Probably it doesn't contain the plugin only and have more files in it.

And it's also your first try in the world of web design and use of wordpress. Do learn some basics as if you don't know how to look into an archive and separate the plugins then it's not our fault.

Do not upload the package, that contains two plugins. Find the individual zip files and upload them separately.

You mean I have to unzip the initial dl? I did that and sadly it just contained a bunch of directories and files for the plugin : ( Couldn't see any further zip files

I tried with five different downloads and same story. Incidentally, I tried with a freemium plugin packages from some popular third-party dev and they worked like a charm. There some extra step I must take to activate nulls I think?

For a total newby this one is not quite as easy as it seems.

Download the file, then unzip it. Inside are two folders. You need to zip these two folders so you have elementor.zip and elementor-pro.zip

Then install both and activate.

Excellent. Thanks I shall try this now. Thank you

Sadly, there aren't said zip files but folders only. That's confusing him.

Yes, there is one more step. You will see two folders elementor and elementor-pro, zip them individually and then upload.
