windows server 2012 RS or Windows server 2016

[majdkaid22]

Hi guys,

For the experts in the world of PBI desktop and Windows server. Am running the PBI on a Azure VM Windows server 2012 RS. IT would like to move to new VM and gave me the option to have Windows Server 2016.

I tried a test VM and felt there were few errors that didn't happen in PBI when using Windows 2012 RS.

From experts experience, which works better with PBI desktop? 

Thanks in advance,

Majd

Hi @majdkaid22,

When one computer's software and hardware satisfy the requirements of installing Power BI desktop, which works fine with Power BI. More details, please review this article.
