Regarding which "PAK" do I have... if I open BIAB and click Help > What add ons do I have there are too many to list here so I'm unsure how to answer that question
Yes, while looking at the RealBand styles I can click "Load Demo Song"
When I do I see 4 populated tracks... BB Melody - Acoustic Grand Piano BB Soloist - Acoustic Bass BB Real Base 400 BB RealDrums-Jazz-TerryClarke
While your view shows 5 populated tracks.
Question 1: Will RealBaand Styles list Styles even if I don't have the right PAK's? Question 2: To share an image on the forum do I have to have it online in a public folder... like on a public Google Drive folder... or what?
Also, of note, if I just double click the style I hear one arrangement playing but if I click "Load Demo Song" it sounds different... and actually not so good... So maybe the system can't find all the "parts" so some instruments are missing... What do you think?

1: Re Which Pak: When you upgraded recently, you purchased one of the following: - Pro - MegaPAK - UltraPAK - UltraPAK+ - Audiophile
Do you recall which one, and also what was the price you paid for the upgrade?

Another thing, please check if the tracks that are populated with the Style are showing as Audio (a waveform) or MIDI (a 5 pin DIN plug). If they are showing as MIDI then I suspect some substitution is taking place because the correct RealTracks are not available in your setup.

OK. I bought the "Pro" upgrade for $79. And I'm running Windows 10 on a PC.
- I had BIAB 9 on the external disk and was advised to "install" it before upgrading as some of the BIAB 9 stuff would enhance the upgrade. - I'm guessing that means some extra styles would be included... bit I'm not sure. - Regardless, I "installed" version 9 and then installed 2021 on top of it as advised.
I'm including 3 screen shots of the _JBRF_B Jazz Bebop Quartet style. - The chord view is a simple II V I progression. - The track view shows only two tracks... bass and drums. - The "Load Song Demo" tracks
So the question to me would seem to be...
1 - Are the necessary "styles" included with my "Pro" upgrade? 2 - If so why are only the bass and drum tracks showing up in the II V I arrangement? 3 - What about the "Load Song Demo" track view where 4-tracks are populated? 4 - Shouldn't the RealBand Style Picker only show choices that match what is installed on the system?
Sadly, time and time again - just like you - we witness user confusion with the contents and functionality of the unfortunately named 'Pro' Pak. It is actually the 'entry level', 'essentials', or 'starter' version, and has the minimal musical RealTracks and related material.
The 2021 Pro Pak ($79 upgrade) has 500+ RealTracks The 2021 Ultra Pak ($299 upgrade) has 3,100+ RealTracks
I suspect this is why you are not achieving your desired outcome.
Some of the support staff at PG Music may be able to offer additional advice / clarification.

As a checkpoint, you can enable/disable the 'Show unavailable Realtracks' option so they do not show if you do not have them. ..and even if left enabled to show them, they likely have a 'N/A' marking in one of the columns inside the picker. There's actually a column labeled N/A.
For most of us (unfortunately) we can't check between Pro/Ultra as we already have the Ultra installed, so knowing what you have available compared to us isn't easy to do. As mentioned above, a quick Chat session (upper right corner of this screen) is your best bet to find out.
