I just set up VM with windows Pro. Now I am trying to open Power BI, but every time I open it it get stuck. Am I missing something or does VM not support Power BI?
@NordinAdoui , You should be able to install as long as it meets system requirements. Are you installing the app using windows store or downloading and installing. Make sure you have admin access to install
Hi @NordinAdoui
Yes you can run PBI on a VM. What exactly is the issue? I presume you are referring to PBI Desktop?
