Upgrading XP HOme to Professional

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have a user who works from home on their XP HOme Laptop but comes into the
office with it at time and because it is Home edition can't join the domain.
Can this be upgraded to XP Professional?

Want to make sure before I do this.

verification on it.
