    Purchase a reasonably sized Fabric capacity and recreate your semantic models there. 

     

    is it possible to keep an alias and migrate

    No, it is not.

    Hi feelthelight14 ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community. Thank you lbendlin for your inputs.

     

    Currently, Power BI Premium does not support custom server aliases like 'link://' used in Azure Analysis Services (AAS). During migration, connection strings must be updated to use the 'powerbi://' format. We recommend updating client applications and user connections to the new format and leveraging XMLA endpoints for seamless access to your models.

     

    For a smoother migration, you can refer to the AAS to Power BI Premium Migration Guideand XMLA Connectivity documentation.

     

    Hope my suggestions give you good idea, if you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.
