<p>So, I have a new HP laptop that has Windows Vista Home Premium. I just looked up the operating system requirements and BC says that you have to have XP Pro or Vista Business. Is this required or can you get by with what I have? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Dear elmtree723 : You need to be able to log-in to the BC Domain - which typically means that you need the business editions. You might want to contact technical services for more information - this is one reason to buy the systems discounted through BC's services because they come pre-outfitted with all of the BC required components.</p>
<p>I saw that you can buy them for $15 at the Bookstore. Is this a good way to go?</p>
<p>yeah thats what i did last year. but watch out, if you have home premium you cant "upgrade" to business, youll have to completely install it new meaning youll lose all preferences and files (if i remember right). plus, business doesnt have games! i really wish i splugred the extra $5 to get the ultimate upgrade so i could still have my solitare =(</p>
