A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1

To update

Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes

iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad

A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via

Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1 if you updated to 4.1 before 4.2.w was released. If you did not then you are stuck with where you are currently.
