The latest anaconda version is 2020.11.
I am using anaconda python 2020.7. Will conda update --all be good enough to upgrade my existing version to 2020.11? Are there things that I am missing out if I don't install 2020.11 directly from installation file?
The conda update --all works to update the anaconda package management system, you can also use the conda update anaconda=VersionNumber. For more detailed info check this website
