Thanks in advance.

Visit http://your-domain.com/wp-admin/update-core.php and look for the heading "An updated version of WordPress is available."
Below that there should a button for "Update Now". You can update by hitting that button.
If it's not there then you will have to manually update your website. For that instructions are here. https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

Thanks but I tried to click the button 'Update Now', and there's a provided link. It says you have to download the newest version of WordPress and it gives me an empty dashboard. Okay so for now, I need to do the manual update because the button Upgrade didn't upgrade the version I want Commented Sep 1, 2014 at 7:20

Yes, in that case you will have to update manually. It's not big a deal. You just need to be little careful, that's all. And also keep a backup before manually updating because it's very easy to make mistakes in this process. :) Commented Sep 1, 2014 at 7:25
