Power BI desktop slow in Virtual Machine

I am using Power BI Dekstop in a Virtual Machine, but it doesn't work properly. Any idea how to fix that. and what is the spec needed for Power BI.

 

Thank you

  • Hi, tebtim19 

     

    The following list provides the minimum requirements to run Power BI Desktop:

    • Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2, or later
    • .NET 4.5
    • Internet Explorer 10 or later
    • Memory (RAM): At least 1 GB available, 1.5 GB or more recommended.
    • Display: At least 1440x900 or 1600x900 (16:9) required. Lower resolutions such as 1024x768 or 1280x800 aren't supported, as certain controls (such as closing the startup screen) display beyond those resolutions.
    • Windows display settings: If you set your display settings to change the size of text, apps, and other items to more than 100%, you may not be able to see certain dialogs that you must interact with to continue using Power BI Desktop. If you encounter this issue, check your display settings in Windows by going to Settings > System > Display, and use the slider to return display settings to 100%.
    • CPU: 1 gigahertz (GHz) 64-bit (x64) processor recommended.
