switching on my photo is gone, instead there is only a pink circle with the first letter of my name: 'P' . How can I restore the previous version?

"Switching on Photos option" where exactly...?
For what purpose exactly?
Are you by chance trying to edit your user avatar image(?)
>System Settings>Apple Account
move your mouse over the image to reveal the "edit" option
Something that's confused me more than once: In Owl-53's screenshot, the "Camera" choice lets you take a picture of yourself and use that. "Photos" takes you to the pictures in your Photos Library where you can use one of those pictures. If you have a picture in a Finder Folder that you want to use, you may have to drag that to Photos so that you can use it from there.
Sorry for my English, I'll try to explain it better:
Opening my laptop, it appears the screen where I have to enter my IDApple, if requested. Previously, before the last update, there was a chosen photo of mine, above the slot and the name of the Admin. Now there is a pink circle with the first letter of my name (P). Trying to replace the circle with my picture there, where it used to be, I was unsuccessful.

Did you get this resolved pt23nov ...?
No, I succeeded in reaching my photo and the choices (avatar, monogram ... given), but to change from one to the other remains unclear to me.
But thank you anyway, it is not so important, it was just a curiosity.

Thank you, your suggestions are exactly what I did and used to do also in the past. Click on edit, choose the photo, and click save. The P in the pink circle remains.
Never mind, I leave tomorrow, and will not take my Mac with me. Therefore, I'll not be able to dialogue with you anymore.
Again, thank you very much

Click the Edit in your image
This is what I get and can change the Avatar / image
Switching on Photos option is missing on my MacBook Air after latest update
