When the Express Setup feature is used to upgrade Microsoft Windows operating

Setup does not update the MSNET.DRV network driver.

This information applies to a system running a Microsoft Network (MS-NET)
compatible network (that is, Microsoft LAN Manager versions 1.x or 100-percent
compatible or MS-NET 100-percent compatible).
