Never ever ever ever rely on a program to get your updates for you.
Visit the official manufacturer of your hardware and download it yourself. (nVidia, ATI, Intel, whatever) Then you can guarantee that you're up to date. The program may be trying to sell you something or not be as up to date as it should be.
If you need to update software, it should either tell you to update, or have a 'check for updates button', or you can look on the official website and check the version numbers.
To update Windows, use Windows Update, which is built in.
