I think if you select the first post in a topic you would only get the option to move to an ‘Existing Topic’ appear in the modal (and be able to convert to a PM from the topic wrench).

The screenshot in the OP looks like it could be from a moderator or TL4, as they would not have the option to convert it to a PM from there. Are you attempting this as an admin @wellbing-go?
