"can i upgrade 2 98 or higher?"

Hardware Requirements

Table 2.3 describes the basic hardware requirements for running
Windows 98 from the hard disk of a local computer. Windows 98 is
designed for computers that use Intel x86-based processors and
compatibles. It cannot be installed on any other processor. Windows 98
does not have symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support and, therefore,
cannot take advantage of multiple processors (as Windows NT does).

Table 2.3 Hardware requirements

Component Minimum requirement Recommended
Disk space 120 MB of free hard-disk space.
A new installation can require up to 355 MB.

You also need a certain amount of free disk space for a swap file,
depending on how much RAM the computer has.

Processor
486DX-66 MHz processor Pentium or higher

Memory
16 MB More improves performance

Monitor VGA (16-color) or Super VGA (16- or 24-bit color)

Drive
One 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive
