Hi Alpedhuez,

In order to update your MATLAB version from R2019b to R2020a. You can follow the steps below.

Step 1: You can run the MATLAB installer if you have in your computer or else you can get it from the downloads page on the MATHWORKS website.

Here is the link.

Step 2: You can install the upgrade in a new installation folder.

Here is the link which will guide you through the steps.

Each release is independent of previous releases and you can run multiple releases on the same computer.

As a workaround, You can also check for updates manually.

• On the Home tab, click Help > Check for Updates
• If there is an update available, click Install Update to install the latest MATLAB product update for your version.

Hope this helps!
