No.
Visual Studio 2019 is on a different release channel to Visual Studio 2017, this allows for both IDEs to be installed side by side. This means that you cannot convert a 2017 install into a 2019 install.
Although, with how much has changed between versions, you would have to download an entire instance of Visual Studio even if you were allowed to update 2017 to 2019, so you wouldn't save anything more than the time required to uninstall 2017.
This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.

Hi DWw_
Sorry for this convenience.
As Darren Rowe says, the release channel of visual studio 2019 is different with visual studio 2107. There is not an appropriate way to upgrade visual studio from 2017 to 2019 currently.

To my mind this is not primarily a technical problem but a business problem.
uninstall VS2017 and install 2019 and send an upgrade invoice

I have Visual Studio Community 2015, and want to upgrade to Visual Studio Community 2019.
It appears the only path is to uninstall 2015, then install 2019.
If I do that, will existing projects and settings be maintained? Is there anything I should keep in mind to prevent breakage and disruption in the update?
Thanks!

Delete 2017 first then download 2019.
