Yep, not going to get upgraded from that ticket class without paying
Basic economy isn’t eligible for skymiles or upgrades. Doesn’t even go towards awards status.
You’ll be lucky if they let you on the plane without getting bumped
This is how I know you’re full of it

That’s the neat part, you don’t.
Buy a ticket in fare class V or higher. E gets you very little.
Call delta and see if you can get into premium economy or change the class of the ticket.

Also the best you’re going to do for complimentary upgrades to MXP, if you had bought a Main Cabin ticket, would be Comfort+. There are no free upgrades to PS or D1 internationally, so on a MC ticket you’d need to pay with cash or miles (or use a GUC if you were a Diamond or 360). But you can’t do that on a Basic Economy ticket.
