update your graphic card
If your base score or sub scores can't be updated
But I don't think you can rely on this feature. But its fun tho
The following conditions might prevent Windows from updating the Windows Experience Index:
• Running on battery power. Windows automatically tries to conserve power when running on a battery alone. So if your PC is running on battery power, a performance assessment won't reflect its true capabilities. Plug your PC in, and then re-run the assessment.
• Not enough free drive space. When you assess your PC, the Windows Experience Index creates a test file on your hard drive. If there's not enough free space to create the test file, the assessment can't be completed. You can use the Disk Cleanup tool to free up space. For more info, see Delete files using Disk Cleanup.
• The assessment is already running. If you're already running a Windows Experience Index assessment, your scores can't be updated.
• The video driver is older. If your PC is using an older version of the video driver, your scores might not be updated.
• No multimedia support. If your PC doesn't have multimedia support, your scores can't be updated.- Edited by britishdhez Thursday, April 3, 2014 8:20 AM

The graphical interface to the Windows Experience Index no longer exists in Windows 8.1. Please review this article.
