Use PBI Desktop in personal PC
Hello there!
This is not a technical question, but related to user access.
I have been working with PBI for years, yet always in my work PC with the provided licenses and environments. I was wondering if there is a viable way to use PBI in my own pc, just to train or maybe be able to share with people freely.
And can it be set with a personal email? Or I need to use a work-email even in my personal PC?
Hello NordicDrow ,
yes, you can use your own pc.
you can't use your personal email, but here's a workaround for this https://youtu.be/Eyz7Pod_MgI?si=vIUIRmeM5wquT9iH

Hello,
you can use powerbi with you personal PC but if you want to publish something on the service you need a work email.
I don't get the links between work or personal pc, that's just a machine.What matters is the emai you use to log in
