I installed Drupal in one click on a OVH server. First bad surprise: I discovered that the installed version 9.1.9 needs a security update to 9.2.9.
Second bad surprise: drush was not installed by default. So I had to install first composer in order to install drush with the command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
After some battles, composer was working. I installed drush issuing command:
composer require --dev drush/drush
Probably, the --dev flag was not necessary.
I see that composer is able to list the available updates of drupal by running:
composer show drupal/recommended-project --all

My problem is that I installed drupal/drupal that is apparently conflicting with drupal/recommended-project where I see the upgrade of drupal I need.
What should be the next step to upgrade from Drupal 9.1.9 to Drupal 9.2.9? Sorry if this question is trivial, but I am overwhelmed with a huge documentation where I get lost.
UPDATE: this is the composer.json file I found in my home directory:
{
"require-dev": {
"drush/drush": "^10.6"
}
}
And UPDATE2: this is the composer.json file I found in the Drupal root directory:

If your project is new you can do some actions to be on the last version of drupal.
To avoid any conflicts you have to :
then
It will install last version of every dependencies.
In case if you just want to update drupal dependencies do (without delete composer.lock and /vendor) :
I use the inital installation of composer/drush/drupal like this.
The drush part is the important.
composer
drush
drupal
