Microsoft says that there are more advantages for downloading the Power BI Desktop from Store.
1.Automatic updates: Windows downloads the latest version automatically in the background as soon as it’s available, so your version will always be up to date.
2.Smaller downloads: Microsoft Store ensures only components that have changed in each update are downloaded to your machine, resulting in smaller downloads for each update.
3.Admin privilege isn’t required: When you download the package directly and install it, you must be an administrator for the installation to complete successfully. If you get Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store, admin privilege is not required.
4.IT roll-out enabled: Through the Microsoft Store for Business, you can more easily deploy, or roll out, Power BI Desktop to everyone in your organization
5.Language detection: The Microsoft Store version includes all supported languages, and checks the language used on your computer each time it’s launched.
Additionally, Power BI Desktop will no longer be supported on Windows 7 after January 31st, 2021. After that date, Power BI Desktop will be supported on Windows 8 or newer versions of Windows, for the most recent release of Power BI Desktop only.
