    Hi PVO3,

    Thanks for confirming that both laptops have the same culture settings and that you're using the same account. Since we've ruled out culture differences, let's check other possible reasons :

    * Clear your Power BI Credentials and Reauthenticate. Go to File then Options and settings then

      Data source settings. Now look for any PowerBI.Dataflows credentials, delete them, and       

      reconnect. You can also sign out of Power BI Desktop completely and sign back in which will 

      restart it too.

    * Also check for Network or Firewall Restrictions, if your new laptop is on a different network, a

      firewall or proxy might be blocking access to Power BI Dataflows.

    * You have to manually verify workspace and dataflow IDs by going to Power BI Service, then go

       to Workspaces and then Your Dataflow. Copy the workspaceId and dataflowId from the URL

       and compare them with those in your query. If they don’t match, update your query

       accordingly.

    * You can also test with a different version of Power BI Desktop. Even if both laptops have the

       latest version, some updates may behave differently. Try installing an older version of Power

       BI Desktop and run the query again and see if it works.

    * You can also enable tracing to get more details regarding the issue you are facing. Go to File

       then Options and settings and again options and then Diagnostics. Enable Tracing, then try

       running the query again. You can check the logs in stored in "c:\Users\(your

       user)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerBI Desktop\Traces"

     

    If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.  

    Best Regards,
