this is RS version:

 

this is Desktop (no month name):

 

You can create a report in Desktop version then upload it to Report server but it could be not compatible if you are using newest functionality

Ok and how can I download the 2017's version of Desktop RS ? 

Because, when I'm on Microsoft, I don't have the choice, it's downloading the most recent version available. 

Thanks by advance,

    I've not used any 2017 version of RS, but in the 2019 version we have now and the 2018 version we've used there is a download button on the menu bar of the Report Server Web Portal that should in theory download the matching desktop client, at least in my experience it always has.

     

    I would also push to get your server version updated by whoever manages it as you are obviously a few versions behind and missing out on some good updates.
