Anyone know? My computer auto-download, I think. But I don't see the installer in the Applications folder like normal. Anyone know where it is? Or did it not actually download it and the System Prefs is just nagging me to upgrade?

When you click upgrade, your computer will download the installer.

Whether do do a clean installation of Catalina (by running the Installer App from the Applications Folder), or an Update, the installer file gets removed when the installation/upgrade completes. Myself, I always do a clean installation. But after the installer files downloads, I quit that process, and make a copy of the installer file to another location on my machine. I then remove the one from the Applications Folder, and then run the installer file from that other location. It does not get removed.
