Microsoft 365 Family subscription and Power BI

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this. Apologies if so.

I currently have Microsoft 365 Family subscription. Up to date on Windows 11

Been using Power BI for the last couple of weeks. When you click on "Get more visuals", it wants a work or school email address.

My Microsoft account is under my personal email, not a work or school email

I am self-employed, and do not use Power BI for business use. Don't use Microsoft 365 for business either.

Few questions.

Can I buy a domain and business email, and use that for Power BI?

Do I have to upgrade to Microsoft 365 Business?

Do I have to update my Microsoft account email to the business email? And can I do that?

Thanks for any help.

This might help

This article describes an alternative way to sign up for the Power BI service if you don't already have a work or school email account.

If you're having problems signing up for Power BI with your email address, first make sure it's an email address that can be used with Power BI. If that's not successful, sign up for a Microsoft 365 trial and create a work account. Then, use that new work account to sign up for the Power BI service. You can use Power BI even after the Microsoft 365 trial expires.

I am already using Power BI. I also have a Microsoft 365 Family subscription. That article is not answering my questions. Thanks.

I think it means you need a business subscription to set up a work based email address.

Thanks. Will look in to it.
