The easiest way to update to honeycomb is to go to the xda wiki, head to the Dell Streak 7 section, find the appropriate update package, download it, rename it to "update.pkg" and place it on your sd card.
Then reboot your tablet, pressing Volume Up and Power, and selection option 2 which is to install a package and let it do its work.
Ok I downloaded the latest version renamed it update.pkg when I rebooted and tried to click on update from update.pkg it brings me to recovery in says install from zip.or upate.wipe cache.etc.
The Update.pkg can only be ran from the stock recovery menu, sounds like your on CWM.
Ok I rooted using gingerbreak..then downloaded cwm on my tablet..have superuser, I downloaded the correct update n renamed it update pkg.i go n turn off.then hit power n volume.then click on update pkg then brings me to I believe recovery which is red n I try to do it there but does work says couldnt find file..would like to know what im missing or doing wrong..than u
An "Update.pkg" can't be installed from CWM only a stock recovery.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official as there seems to be a recovery download link for 2.2(336). That should give you a stock recovery from which you can install that "Update.pkg".
thank you and sorry total noob.how do i go about flashing recovery and do i have to rename it..
From Fastboot type: Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you haven't used Fastboot before you need to search, read and install drivers then.

ok now i know i did something wrong..because right now my dell rebooted and went straight to recovery..just keeps doing the same thing..wont load and goes in to recovery..i downloaded fastboot+adb,but cant get the drivers to load nor cant find them..can you please help me...thank you so much...
Got to poke around in that zip for the proper drivers. You may have to NVflash back to 2.2 now to fix whatever happened. Look here for three videos from giveen on how to NVflash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydM7qkoCs00. Look here for files you'll need: http://d-h.st/users/TheManii. Your looking for a "Restore to 2.2.rar" file. Root with SuperUser7 later when you need too.
