Please be more descriptive in your questions. It assists us in providing a more complete answer.
I do not know if you are looking to replace this PC, update the Dell drivers, or update the operating system. I will assume you want driver and/or firmware (BIOS) updates. Dell has a great web site that has all current drivers and firmware (BIOS) available for download.
The page for this model of PC is here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=biz&os=W764&osl=en&SystemID=LATITUDE%20PRECISION%20380&catid=-1&impid=-1
You can go to this web page and download everything you need to update the system.
