You cannot. The iPhone 6 can only be updated up to IOS 12.5.7 and nothing further. This is due to the hardware limitations in the iPhone 6.

An iPhone 6/6 plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, it doesn't have the hardware required to run anything higher.

If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.
