Run this On a Windows on a Virtual Machine:

Consider using a Virtual Machine(VM) (Windows-in-a-window). You would open Windows-Only Compatible items on it, including hardware like printers and scanners that are macOS incompatible. All would be accessed and would operate as desired on the VM. Virtual Machine applications include VMWare Fusion and Parallels. Learn more here: What Is a Virtual Machine? - VMWare Support.

I Use VMWare Fusion:

VMware Fusion is what I use. It is well known throughout town. So, I'd say go for that. You can save these VMs on an external hard drive, and run older Operating Systems on it. I use MS Visual Basic quite often in life, and a Windows XP VMWare Fusion VM is what I have it installed on.

Mac-new-user Said:

"After installed VMware Fusion to the Mac , the next step is create a virtual host and install Windows OS on it ? the final step is install PBI to the Windows ? thanks"

Creating New VM:

Go to File > New > Then, perform the install. If you have a media disk to use, then you'll need to use Apple's USB Super Drive.

With VM Software to Get:

For an Intel-based Mac, either VMware Fusion or Parallels will work. For a Silicon-based Mac, however, use Parallels, as VMWare Fusion is still working on Silicon compatibility.

"Want to install powerBI to macbook: Two more quesitons:"

-------

Q1. "Fusion 13 is good for Mac Intel / M1 /M2 CPU"

A1. IMO: NO. Not yet: There are still discrepancies on Fusion's end, without there being Intel processor. I use parallels on the M1 Mac, and use VMWare Fusion 13 on my Intel Mac.

Getting this for Free:

Q2. "just found the below URL , teach how to use Fusion for free , is it work or legal ?"

A2. Ask a friend to give you a hardcopy. Or ask it as a gift.

Oh VMWare Fusion by far I believe.

Mac-new-user Said:

"Sorry to ask , why you have chosen Fusion , but not Parallels ?: As I found on the web , it seems Parallels is more popular in the market . thanks"

Why I Use VMWare Fusion:

Back in the days of Snow Leopard (when I started Mac), I read a book series called "The missing Manual" by author David Pogue. His Site: https://davidpogue.com/books/. It incredibly emphasizes on it.

Mac-new-user Said:

“Just found that parallels is not free , have to buy license , right ? how about Fusion , is it free ?”

Is Fusion Free?:

No. The Trial Version is free, to use it for few. Trials typically go for 7 days, given the Developer. Of course, upgrades are much less than purchasing it anew. A retailer may have it on sale.

“There is 7 days trial ?”

No. As the site reads:

“free 30-day trial”
