    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I think the system of your machine should not be Win 10, as only with the version of Power bi desktop that you get from Microsoft Store you could simply navigate to regional settings and change "application language". For the Desktop that installed by using online Power BI Desktop installer, it is not possible to change language directly as there is no such option in the Desktop.  I suggest you to remove the original version, download and install an English version directly from here.

     

     

    Regards,

    Frank
