I upgraded to the latest version of Tortoise and I am looking at the current manual available on your website. Running Windows 10 Pro.
Chapter 1, Section "Checking Out a Working Copy" talks about the context menu
TortoiseSVN → Checkout...
There is no such menu item. Instead, it appears the item is "SVN Checkout..." I tried it and it seems that it works like what the manual says.
------------------------------
Also, in the Section "Adding More Files", it says
Right click on the folder and TortoiseSVN → Add
In my humble opinion, it is not clear what "the folder" is. It should clarify: "the development folder". An inexperienced engineer would not be clear whether it is supposed to be the original project folder, or the development/checkout folder.

Some menu items are shown on the top menu. There the menu text starts with "SVN ..." to indicate the origin.
See here: https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-main under "context menu settings". Since on your machine the checkout command is configured to show up on the top menu, the item is "SVN Checkout" and not in the submenu.

The section title is "Adding More Files". You see the "More"? That makes it very clear what folder it is IMHO.
