It depends on the operating system.Typically, you can just install the new version and adjust your environment vars (ie., path) to point to the new version instead of the old.
The theoretical reason is that you may have other programs/scripts etc which still rely on the old version.
If you are new to Python, you should probably avoid installing later versions until you have studied virtual environments. A venv will let you keep your "system" Python(s) clean and unencumbered while being able to experiment with all sorts of additional libraries, packages etc in multiple separate sub-environments.
