When saving in Illustrator it defaults to Illustrator 2020, how do I switch to the latest version?

A few years ago a client could only use files saved as Illustrator 2020 or earlier. I figured out a way to default to Illustrator 2020 when saving. It's been a few years now, but I would like this to default back to the latest version rather than 2020. Is there a way to change which version it saves out as or can I reset to default settings or something?

Thanks!

It's a bit confusing, but Illustrator 2020 format IS the latest version... it covers anything v24 and up.

The Legacy CC is for anything before that in the CC line

Thank you so much! Oh goodness, this means I've been giving client's older versions. Yikes!
