In this basic post I will cover the steps to join a Windows 10 device to Azure AD (Active Directory). You can either join a brand-new Windows 10 device to Azure AD or join an already configured Windows 10 device.

When you join your Windows 10 work device to your organization’s network, it registers your device to your organization’s network. Once the device is a part of the network, you get access to your resources using your personal account.

While performing the below steps, ensure you are using a support browser. Else you might see “You can’t get there from here” error message.
