Hi @jvandyck,
I don't think it is possible.
I'm not so sure the old one can compatible with newest reports, there are too many difference between newest one and on-premise one.
Why not download newest version and replace old one?

Hi, @jvandyck !
I know that my question may be strange, however, I need Power BI Desktop Optimized for Report Server version October 2017. Maybe You still have the installation, as I have searched a lot of forums and my hope is only if someone still has this version.
If you have this version and can share with me, I will be really grateful!
dell desktop is best choice for this.
