Problems with graphics drivers on E6420

I have a Dell Latitude E6420 running Windows 10. I'm trying to update the NVIDIA NVS 4200M drivers. Is there a driver that includes Opengl 2.0 or higher? 

I was running a program that displays graphs and it worked just fine. I updated my BIOS and now the same program says it needs Opengl 2.0. It appears I only have V 1.1 despite having the most current graphics drivers.

I'm not sure what to actually ask here much less where to go from here. Thanks for any suggestions.

    I tried both of these from Nvidia -

    Quadro Desktop/Quadro Notebook Driver Release 390 WHQL R390 U9 (392.37) February 22, 2019
    Quadro Desktop/Quadro Notebook Driver Release 390 WHQL R390 U8 (392.00) September 5, 2018

    I see the newest one from Dell is from 2012. Do I need to rollback to that one?

    I don't know. The Dell drive checker says I have the most updated everything. Yet there is a list of drivers shown. I found an intel graphics update but it says my system can't install it. The Dell driver pages are very confusing and don't tell you any details about what to install when. I'm not even sure I'm supposed to install that list given that it says I'm up to date.

    2. very good suggestions try installing GeForce experience and use its auto game ready driver utility or try installing DriverEasy thou it may take 4 hours to download the driver and you will have to do it manually using either if the driver has an installer like Nvidea intel or Qualcoom that have they're drivers with setups and if it doesn't I suggest on a tutorial for device manager how to install drivers with only dll and other files that you have to install manually and don't worry all drivers from it are digitally signed by Microsoft and the manufacturer and they even do private testing
