      You need an Azure subscription and then it is very easy. A simple internet search for how to set up a Windows VM in Azure will give you what you need. Once the VM is configured, you use the remote desktop connection to access it, and then use the VM's browser to download PowerBI.

    I am sure it is my poor knowledge and user error - any help you can give - I'd be grateful.
