All Pocket PCs use Windows CE as their underlying operating system. However, there are two different versions that run on the iPAQ 3635: Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002. You can compare the screenshots of each (use the links above) to easily determine which you have.

If you have Pocket PC 2000, it's theoretically upgradable. However, it's not necessarily easy to find that upgrade nowadays...

Finding a Pocket PC 2002 upgrade will be difficult now, it's been years since it was discontinued. You can try searching eBay or the Internet, but I don't know how successful you'll be.

Good luck.
