Let's look at the agenda here What is Power BI in short ?
Gartner's rating, Requirements to run Power BI Desktop and Installation
steps on windows 10. Let's talk about what is Power BI. Power BI is a
cloud-based analytics and reporting platform it allows user to connects
large range of data sources. You may connect to a flat files SQL Database

Salesforce objects to build interactive reports and dashboards. There are three
versions of Power BI. First Microsoft Power bi desktop which is which is
absolutely free second Microsoft Power BI Pro and the third and last one is
Microsoft power bi premium. Now look at the Gartner's raining Microsoft power

better business decision by analyzing your enterprise Data for insights.
Corporate vice president Power BI Mr. Arun Ulog announcing for the 13th
consecutive year Microsoft has been positioned as a leader in the Gardeners
2020 Magic Quadrant for analytic and business intelligence platform. Now look
at the requirements to run the Power BI Desktop. We need at least Windows 7 /
Windows Server 2008 R2 or later, Dot Net version 4.5, Internet Explorer 9 or later
at least 1 GB RAM is required but 1.5 GB or more is recommended display at least
1440 x 900 or 1600 x 900. 1600 x 900 is recommended resolution for Microsoft
Power BI. Display setting should be on 100% and
CPU requirement is 1 gigahertz or faster x86 or x64 bit processor is recommended.
Now look at the installation steps on Windows 10. There are two ways to
download the power bi desktop.Download from Microsoft download page or you can
download it from the Microsoft Store. Let's compare both options before
installation. If you will download from Microsoft download page then you need to
install updated version manually when new version is available. In my opinion
this is the best option for those who wants to control on the latest version update
On the other hand Microsoft Store updates the latest version automatically.
Please write your option in the comment section below which one is best for you
and why? Let's look at the first option. How to download from Microsoft download page.

paste the link into the address bar and click on advanced download option then
click on the download button now choose the download which you want 32-bit or
64-bit Now a days most computers are 64-bit so this is the recommended setup
