Can I upgrade WIndows 98 to 98 SE ?

I have just signed up on Roadrunner for networking. I have
an older computer with Windows 98, my computer needs to
have 98 SE or newer. Is there a way I can up grade to 98
SE?

Thanks,

Yep. Buy a copy and install it. Since most stores don't carry it any
longer you may need to try alternate sources like eBay.

Are you sure that you need to upgrade? I'm not aware of any
difference between 98 and 98SE that would affect either networking or
Internet access through a cable modem. Can Roadrunner tell you their
reason?

If you'll be sharing the Internet connection using a broadband router,
I guarantee that the original version of 98 will work.

I recommend using your older computer, as is, with Roadrunner. It
will probably work. If there's a problem, post another message here
describing it.

It's possible that Roadrunner provides connection software that
actually requires 98 SE. However, it's been my experience that it
isn't necessary to install a cable modem service's connection software
in order to use its Internet service.
