You can update PHP version within the control panel of uWamp.
also you can install manually any version that you want and uWamp will recognize.

After manually upgrading php to version 7.4.9 in uWamp there is a warning in phpMyAdmin. This is caused by a too old version of phpMyAdmin in uWamp. After upgrading phpMyAdmin to version 4.9.5 the warnig in phpAdmin has been gone.
As a note, you might simply copy over an existing php_uwamp.ini file into the new PHP folder to retain the customizations you have. Please bear in mind that when switching to a new MAJOR version (v7 to v8) the .ini may have changed.
After a few failures I finally managed to make php-7.4.24 and php-8.0.10 run – and it’s very easy!
Go to the PHP Windows Download Page.
Get the x86 Thread Safe version(s)
UnZIP to a (in my case) php-7.4.23 and php-8.0.10 folder
Add this lines to
httpd_uwamp.conf
around line 166:Define {PHPMODULENAME} {PHPMODULENAME}
