Hi Bokazoit,
Dataflow Gen2 is not enabled from Power BI Desktop, so you won’t see it in Desktop settings. It is available only in Power BI Service Fabric.

Please check this once:
     Login to Power BI Service
     Open a Fabric-enabled workspace
     Click New → you should see Dataflow Gen2 there

If you are not able to see the Dataflow Gen2 option, it usually means Fabric is not enabled for your tenant or you don’t have the required workspace permissions. Once this is available, you can use Dataflow Gen2 to load the data into a Lakehouse and continue from there. Please check this once and let us know if you are still facing any issues.

Regards,
Community Support Team

Oh, that was what I was asking for - can I enable Gen2 only having PPU licens. I do not have fabric, since it costs money too. But what You are saying is that fabric is needed?
