Is it an Elite Steam account or is it bought from Frontier and put on your Steam games list?
If it's a Frontier account then you can go to their site
https://www.elitedangerous.com/ and at the top right of the page hover on the 'Downloads' tab. Click on the first one under that tab: WINDOWS (32/64 BIT) [26 MB].
This will download the launcher version to prepare for 2.1. installation.
I don't know if you bought it via Steam though, sorry.
