    I have installed Visual Studio 2017 but Visual Studio 2017 is ending in 2020 but I'm going to upgrade it to Visual Studio 2019 and update it.

    You can download Visual Studio 2019 directly from Microsoft...

    Software Link
    Download VS2019

    Unity Integration Guide
    Visual Studio Tools for Unity

    There's no direct upgrade so you can install VS2019 alongside your existing version.

    Hope this helps

    If you encounter any problems configuring VS2019 as the default script editor (Windows), follow the steps below...

    • Launch Unity
    • Open 'Edit Menu / Preferences'
    • Click on 'External Tools'
    • Click 'External Script Editor'
    • Select 'Browse' from the drop down menu
    • Navigate to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv'
    • Click 'Open'
    The new editor will be displayed as 'Visual Studio 2019'
