Will it hurt my settings if I change my Windows Vista PC from a computer in working group on a home PC?

I have a Windows Vista Home Premium, I had some problems and had to do a system restore. I put a different name for my computer, I am the administrator. I did have the time to add a user account. Anyway, I wasn't paying that much attention to the WORKING GROUP or the HOUSE of CP. I feel that I can have messed up things, once again! I'm afraid that if I change the name or change the name of my computer and change it to page HOME of CP instead of WORKING GROUP, I have will not have access to Microsoft Internet Explorer? I don't see anything regarding a field in this area. Could someone help me with this, I want to change my WORKING GROUP home of CP.

Hello

You can change the name of your computer as the computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between the areas and working groups is the management mode of the network resources. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on networks to work are usually part of a domain.

What is the difference between a domain and a workgroup?

    I always highly recommend to switch to Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or one of many other supported browsers.

    While my dose turns off the message, you will NO longer receive updates of Google Chrome.

    Given that Microsoft will support Vista at least a year, I don't understand Google dropping support early reasoning.

    Then you select manually configure the settings on the first page.

    What is the domain of the account you are trying to add - the part after the ' @' symbol? Normally, the behavior you're seeing should occur only if WLMail recognizes the domain and can apply the settings of the account automatically. I do not think that it recognizes icloud.*
