Transitioning from to TWRP is the first step in the world of Android customization. While the menu is a "dead end" for hobbyists, using Fastboot or Odin to bypass it will unlock the true potential of your hardware.

Go to Settings > About Phone and tap "Build Number" 7 times. Then, in Developer Options , enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (if available).

Replacing the limited with Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is a massive upgrade for legacy Android devices. Recovery is a "stock" recovery tool designed primarily for factory resets and official updates, whereas TWRP is a touch-based custom recovery that unlocks full control over your phone's software.
