There is not enough security devices on the Home Version Operating Systems to safeguard Temple University’s network against virus attacks and hackers. If a system is ordered with a Windows Home Operating System, it must be upgraded to either Windows XP Pro, Vista Business, or above. End users can take advantage of Temple University’s Microsoft Campus Agreement to obtain the appropriate operating system for the upgrade. Please be advised that some upgrades may take hours to complete and you may need to adjust drivers within the system for compatibility.
