Confusing differences of versions and watching tutorials

I have Lightroom Version 6.1. All the videos are a great help but some of the screens are not the same. I am creating a preset and I have this option to Select with a checkmark box - Profile; Embedded, Light, Color, Effects, Detail, Optics.... I am not sure what happens if I select them. When I try to unselect them it will not let me save. In any video I have found it does NOT talk about these settings.

I don't create presets, and I actually don't use very many presets. However, I wonder if you realize that there are two different versions of Lightroom and the screens in the two versions ARE very different. Lightroom Classic is a version that stores images on the computer hard drive but providing an option to share images as smart previews with the web and the other version of Lightroom. Lightroom stores images directly to the cloud, and has different options and is organized much differently than Lightroom Classic. If you are already aware of this, and I'm wasting your time, I heartily apologize. But the tutorials don't always differentiate clearly between the two different versions.
