Without knowing what device you have it is hard to give a detailed answer, but typically when there is an update the device will let you know with a pop up. If you still want to check, go into your settings and search around for the software update section. If you let us know what kind of device you have I can help you further.

I am assuming you have an Android tablet since Marshmallow recently came out. The problem with Android is that Google sends out the update to all the different phone manufacturers and then it is up to the manufacturers to make sure it works with their devices and then they send it out to users. This process can take months! That's why Nexus phones and tablets are so nice, because they get the updates immediately, since they are phones made by Google and LG or Huawei.

Where can i download the firmware for my tablet irulu 10.1 "

Only when a brand like irulu offers an update of the firmware, you can download firmware. But I think now you ask for firmware you even can't use new firmware. I think you have bricked your tablet. But to load firmware, your tablet needs to work correct. If during an update (or while rooting) something goes wrong, you can't put in new firmware, because the tablet does not know what to do with the USB connection or with the memory card holder. Only a workshop with the correct tools can put in some firmware.

As soon as irulu has an update of the firmware they will notify registered users they can download the firmware and they also provide a manual, how to do the update. There are always warnings, if something goes wrong during an update, you can end with a bricked tablet. But if it is a regular update, they also tell you who to contact if something goes wrong.
Try to fine a certified irulu repair centre and ask them for help. (and what it will cost)

Im locked out of of my polaroid tablet because i forgot my pin

You will have to perform a firmware update to the tablet. Be sure to back up any information and data to your computer's hard drive as the tablet will be reset to a factory default setting and all of your data will be erased.A To perform this firmware update from your computer, log ontowww.southerntelecom.com/polaroidsupport and select "Updates". From here you can get the firmware update as well as the Firmware Update Guide.A Be sure to select the correct model number (located on the back of the tablet).

Cannot update software/firmware

Samsung Tab needs Kies software to update to latest firmware.
Download Kies from here and install it. When finished, launched the Kies and it should tell you whether there's need for an update or not.

Hope this helps.
