Thanks for your answer. flutter upgrade update but not latest version. Latest version is 0.7.5 (github.com/flutter/flutter/releases) but after flutter upgrade, it update to 0.6.0 not 0.7.5.

May be you are in beta channel. You can check using flutter channel command. If you want to change channel the use flutter channel dev after that use flutter upgrade command to upgrade to latest version.

Will this upgrade to the stable version or the dev version by default?
Viren V Varasadiya
No, it will only update to the latest version of whatever channel you are using.

'flutter' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I want to upgrade most latest version. So I used below commands:
flutter channel dev
Flutter has 4 project branches / channels ie stable, master, dev, beta. First when we install it. flutter install stable channel.
If you want to switch :
flutter channel chanel_name
Then update that :
flutter upgrade

This worked for me when "flutter upgrade" didn't. What does --force do?

--force overwrites local changes to your Flutter installation. As per the CLI: "Your flutter checkout has local changes that would be erased by upgrading. If you want to keep these changes, it is recommended that you stash them via "git stash" or else commit the changes to a local branch. If it is okay to remove local changes, then re-run this command with --force."Sometime flutter upgrade seems not responsive but actually it's doing something. Just add the -v or --verbose option to see what actually happening.
flutter upgrade --verbose

We can upgrade the flutter by simply using Flutter command forcefully.
Like this one :
flutter upgrade --force
But before that we will have to make sure & take a note of few things otherwise it can be risky & we might loss some of our work as well.
Important Note :
- While upgrading the flutter make sure all of your local work is already pushed to the server & you do have a proper back up of all of your code
- Make sure you do have a back of all live changes you did & with working condition
Hopefully this will help out everyone.

A very much simple way is to go and download the new SDK and extract the the folder. Then replace the old sdk folder with the new one

Just run the flutter upgrade in terminal.
Or if you have to upgrade it any way you can use flutter upgrade --force

In Android Studio , in toolbar at top of the screen go to Android Studio -> Tools -> Flutter -> Flutter Upgrade.[
Or open terminal and type command: flutter upgrade and hit Enter.
