    Hi Nettie01 -The differences you're observing in Power BI Desktop on your two laptops, despite them having the same version and build number, can be attributed to the "Preview Features" settings. Power BI Desktop regularly introduces new features and updates, some of which are available as "Preview Features" before they are fully released.

    This difference is probably due to the new "Modern visual tooltips" and "Updated Visuals Pane" preview features. When enabled, these features split the formatting options into a separate pane and rename 'Visualisations' to 'Build'.

     

    Open Power BI Desktop.
    Go to File >> Options and settings >> Options.
    Under Preview features, ensure the following features are consistent:
    Modern visual tooltips
    Updated Visuals Pane
    Any other feature that seems related to the differences you're seeing.
    By aligning these settings, you should be able to make the interfaces and available options consistent across both laptops.
