Hi @Anonymous,

 

>>processor type not supported on machine

Based on your error message, it sounds like your CPU is not suitable for the prerequisites.(CPU: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster x86- or x64-bit processor recommended.)


In addition, you can take a look at below article to check if your environment or prerequisites is suitable:

Get Power BI Desktop | Microsoft Power BI

 

If above is not help, can you provide something detail about your issue?

No, you don't need to install it. Your CPU seems suitable for the prerequisite, perhaps you can post this to issue.

Can you give some specifics about the machine you're trying to install on? It's hard to troubleshoot an unsupported hardware error message if you don't tell us what the hardware is.
