removing the figure caption to table caption?

Question

For some reason the code provided by Zarko(below) isn't working on my computer:

So temporarily I've decided to use his picture in his solution and included that as a png file:

\begin{figure}[!htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{U4OxK.png}
\caption{Table 1: Description of parameters}
\label{top}
\end{figure}

This labels the figure as figure x: xxxxxxx. How do I remove it naming it figure x: bla bla bla to just table x: description of parameters, without changing my later figures order?

Edit: if someone knows the issue, I hope they can resolve it since it would be much better to use the actual code compared to the image..

Make figure a table:

    \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{figure}[!htb]
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{example-image-a}
        \caption{$p=0.9$, $q=0.8$, $r=0.7$, $\xi_1 =0.7$, $\xi_2 =0.8$  hence $\mathcal{R}_0 \approx 0.1599$.}
        \label{top}
    \end{figure} 

    \begin{table}[!htb]
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{example-image-b}
        \caption{$p=0.9$, $q=0.8$, $r=0.7$, $\xi_1 =0.7$, $\xi_2 =0.8$  hence $\mathcal{R}_0 \approx 0.1599$.}
        \label{middle}
   \end{table} 


    \begin{figure}[!htb]
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{example-image-c}
        \caption{$p=0.9$, $q=0.8$, $r=0.7$, $\xi_1 =0.7$, $\xi_2 =0.8$  hence $\mathcal{R}_0 \approx 0.1599$.}
        \label{bottom}
\end{figure} 


\large
Top is Figure \ref{top}
Middle it Table \ref{middle}
Bottom is Figure \ref{bottom}

Could you also have a look at edit 2 in the question I linked, since you answered it before? — Math, Mar 03 '22 at 15:49
@Math I made an update to that question https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/624756/161015 on how to check the versions of the packages and eventually update them. — Simon Dispa, Mar 03 '22 at 17:50
