Where can I purchase an update to Elements 2020 for my Elements 2015? I do not wish to buy a complete  version of Elements 2020 - just the update. Many thanks for all your help. PETER FREDERICK

...or in othe words:

It's like upgrading from a Ford Focus to a Ford Mustang.  You don't change the Focus.  You drive a different car.

OP was interested in Update versions, because he assumed it would be cheaper, which it necessarily is not. Whether the update is of commercial or technical kind is irrelevant - in the end he is using the same software, 2020. Just that it's not patched, but replaced.

There are update versions available, but usually it's cheaper to just buy the normal version. I paid  only 50 € for full PSE 20.

Your existing version PSE 15 can not be overwritten to reflect the changes that have been made.

Suggest that you download the free 30-day trial of PSEv.20 and try it out. You can evaluate it to ascertain if you wish to purchase, 

Do not uninstall PSE v.15.

Amazon: Full 2020 installer DVD for PC/Mac currently sale priced at $59.  I don't see it available strictly as an update.  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
