I have no checkbox for enabling M intellissense

[SabineD]

Hy, I am new here and hope my Issue belongs in the right place here. Otherwise, please let me know!

I have Power BI Desktop Version: 2.76.5678.782 64-bit (december 2019) on Wondows 7 Professional. I can't find a checkbox for enabling M intellisense.

I miss it in the Power Query Editor:

And I also can't find it in the Preview features:

I have already uninstalled my Power BI Version, downloaded the latest version, installed this one en restarted my computer, but still don't see any checkbox.

Does anyone have an idea what could be going on here?

Thx in advane, Sabine

Hi @SabineD, 

Based on my test with the same Power BI desktop version in Windows 7 machine, we can find the M intellisense option. This feature is already GA, it's expected not listed in Preview Feature tab, see: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-april-2019-feature-summary/#intellisense

For the issue M intellisense option is missing in Power Query editor tab, I would suggest you update your window 7 as ours then test again. Also ensure the machine meets the requirements listed here. 

By the way, the Windows 7 support is already ended on January 14, 2020. It would be better to upgrade your Windows version to get better experience. See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4057281/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020
