@MP_123 - The only requirements for Power BI Desktop are:

 

Supported Operating System
  • Windows 10 , Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Microsoft Power BI Desktop requires Internet Explorer 9 or greater.
  • Microsoft Power BI Desktop is available for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) platforms.

This comes from here:

System Requirements

 

I run Power BI on my Surface 4 Pro with 16GB of memory and it runs fantastic. I would start out with something like a D2 with SSD, 7 GB memory, etc. and see if everything runs OK and then step up to a D3, etc if necessary. I've run Power BI Desktop on an A3, D2, etc. and had good performance but I do not know the size of your data sets, etc. so your mileage may vary.

 

P.S. Please don't cross post between forums. Thanks.
