Renewal of expiring b1/b2 visa. Expired f1 visa is the most recent one. How do I fill in DS 160?

I have a B1/B2 10 years long valid visa that is expiring this week. I want to renew it. I had an F1 visa for a few years in between these 10yrs that is now expired. What do I write in the DS-160 form for renewal of B1/B2 in the column for the '****most recent visa**'?** If I put the expired F1 visa details, it then asks "do you want to renew the same category visa?" and I have to say NO. There is no place to give details of the old B1/B2 visa that I actually want to renew.

And also my B1/B2 visa is on a, now, expired, old passport!

Your most recent visa is the F1 so you should mention that. The Visa officer will already have the information about your old B2 Visa when conducting your interview.

You want to renew a visa you previously had. So, if you had a B2 visa, you can only apply for B2 visa renewal. The US Embassy did not deny a recent visa application from you. If, after your visa expired, you applied for another US visa and that application was rejected, you cannot apply for renewal.
