Upgrade Anaconda Python version

Question

I want to upgrade Anaconda Python version from 3.4 to 3.5 within cmd (Command Prompt) on Windows operating system. How can I do this?

If I do as in the docs:

conda update conda
conda update anaconda

The Python version remains as is (3.4).

Which platform? (On Windows, you need to either create a new environment or uninstall the old version, then do a clean install of Anaconda 2.4). Did you read the docs? — Tim Pietzcker

I do not understand. Is this not a complete anwser?

It is, but please edit your question with the platform you're using this on. Windows, Mac, Linux?

Ok, fixed it. Thank you for your help.
