I currently have Photoshop CC 2020 on my Windows 10 system and it's up to date. I have been unable to find out how to upgrade to CC 2021. Will my CC 2020 be automatically updated or will I need to install the new version and if so, where do I find the download link. I can't find anything about a download on Adobe.com. Thanks.

Try to sign out of the desktop app, then sign back in.

Also if the new version isn't showing in the CC app, try checking for updates

Open the Creative Cloud desktop app, and you will find the update.

Click this icon in the taskbar to open it

 

 

If you have a shortcut for desktop app on the desktop, it may look like this

The only way I can access CC 2021 is to open it through the Creative Cloud
app. I'm up to date on the updates. When I use my desktop icon for
Photoshop it opens the older version! Maybe a glich? I have never seen a
prompt to install CC 2021 like a friend did. I'm on Windows and he uses Mac.

"I have never seen a prompt to install CC 2021"

You may have this enabled in the CC preferences

"When I use my desktop icon for Photoshop it opens the older version"

Go to this location, right click on the Photoshop.exe and select create shortcut
