Safari version 14.0 was introduced with Catalina version 10.15.6.
The update to Safari will be found in System Preferences> Software Update
this is the only way to download Safari and will be available when you
update your OS to 10.15.7.
Did you download the 10.15.7 Combo update I linked you to earlier
this should download directly to your Downloads folder.
Check where downloaded files go by clicking on Safari in the menubar
then click on Preferences, General> Files download location.

Click on this link,

Once downloaded double-click to install.
I just checked my Safari: I currently have 13.1.1 installed. Seems strange, as I thought I had not missed any updates... ??? Would clicking the link then work, or am I so way behind on updates that it won't be any good? Thanks for response...
Actually, Maewee, I seem to recall a Safari specific Downloads folder, that’s directly associated with the Safari Downloads window icon (circle with a down-arrow?).
I don’t remember, right now, where it is in the file system.
However, if you have something in that Safari Downloads “icon”/popup-menu, you can choose “Open in Finder” to see the location.
The downloaded file should, typically, be found in the Downloads folder, Maewee.
Thanks Halliday. It is not in my downloads folder, nor can I find anything in my library...
I would give the link a try, Maewee.
What do you have to loose?
Safari is usually updated as a part of the macOS.
(I have Safari version 14.0 on macOS 10.15.7.)
Thanks to all for your support!! It worked.... :)
Very glad to hear that it worked, Maewee!
