The Student licence system changed a few versions back, and is now completely embedded within the full install. Unfortunately that means downloading a new version of the software. If you update (ie download 2022R2) you don't have to uninstall 2021Rx, that's only needed if you install the same version again to get an extended licence. But given the file size you may well want to uninstall.
