Windows vista home basic
I have just purchased a new laptop which came pre loaded with vista home
basic. I intend to use this for an off campus post grad degree. I need to use the DSL link at my office which has a network domain but vista won't allow the laptop to connect to the domain. Any ideas? I have tried looking for an upgrade to vista but there doesn't seem to be a path from home basic to one that allows logging onto a domain (that I can find). Help?

It might be possible to access domain resources without logging onto the domain. Ask the office IT people. Business and Ultimate can log onto a domain, and you can upgrade from Home Basic to Ultimate. I don't know the pricing, so I can't say which is less expensive, but here are two options: 1. Upgrade from Home Basic to Ultimate. 2. Buy a full retail copy of Business and do a clean installation. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Windows vista home basic
As has already been mentioned, you don't necessarily need to be
domain-joined to access the resources or the network, but you may. If you do need to be domain-joined, you would need to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, Windows Anytime Upgrade. This will take you through the process of purchasing an upgrade from Home Basic to Ultimate. "Geoff Mac."
