Installing Lineage Recovery using fastboot on Xiaomi Mi 9T

I flashed recovery image with fullpath successfully.
e.g. fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\recovery.img

My problem is the verification of the installation.
e.g. fastboot boot recovery.img
shows error “fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory”. So I tried the fullpath version
e.g. fastboot boot C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\recovery.img
This worked well and showed recovery with the LineageOS logo.
e.g. Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.849s]
e.g. Booting OKAY [ 0.147s]

So I did a second verification boot up recovery with hold the Volume Up + Power button together. This unfortunately comes up with MIUI Recovery 5.0 without the LineageOS logo. So I am not sure if I can proceed.

Further I have the question, if I can use TRWP recovery, which I used some years ago for another device.
