Why does Microsoft Fabric not work for me?

I have been trying to get Microsoft Fabric to work in my personal Microsoft Tenant for the past month. I currently use it at my place of employment, but for some reason I can not get it to work for myself. There is no persona switcher at the bottom left of the page and no Fabric Options in the "New" dropdown. I have been through all the tutorials and videos. I enabled Fabric on the entire tenant, made sure the capacity was correctly attached to the workspace and even thought maybe it was an issue with the Trial Capacity so I purchased a capacity and it still doesn't work. I am the Global Admin in the tenant and an Admin set up in Fabric. All I seem to get is the PowerBI features I have always had. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Screen Shot 2023-09-16 at 11.00.20 PM.png

I believe I found the issue.  My PowerBI Region is Central US (Iowa) and Fabric is not available in that region.  I created a paid Fabric Capacity located in a region that is supported and I am able to use it.

glad to hear that you got it sorted

There are no silly questions, I'm open to anything at this moment.  I have done all 3, including loggin in on a different computer, creating new Workspaces and different browsers on this computer.  If I login with my work account in this browser Fabric is available.  Both accounts have a Pro license assigned to them.  I have even tried replacing "power-bi" with "data-engineering" in the attributes of the url thinking maybe the link is jsut not there

and still nothing.

Sounds silly but have you tried logging out and logging back in ? or logging in using a different browser ?

Also have you tried creating a brand new workspace ?
