Please Note: Installing Power BI on a work machine may take a lot of time if your department does not have it for user download on a software centre. If that is the case, please request an installation from your IT team as soon as possible before participating in the course.

You should be downloading the 64 bit version as it has much better memory management. If you are using your own laptop then PC works fine but there is currently no option for Mac (unless you run a Virtual Machine).”
