How to update Python version in root environment in conda

Question

Simple question: How do I update from Python 3.5 to 3.6 in my root environment in conda? That is, I don't want to create a new Python 3.6 environment; I want my root environment to change to Python 3.6

I've tried

conda update --all python=3.6

This updates packages, but not the Python version.

I've also tried

conda install python=3.6

I get an UnsatisfiableError

Run this:

conda install anaconda=4.3
