Errors after moving to a new computer

Question

I was using Excel 2013 Power Query, PowerPivot and Power View on a laptop, but have now moved to a workstation. Office 2013 Pro has been installed and v. 2.14 of Power Query has been installed. However, I continue to get a pop-up message about updating Power Query. In addition, I am experiencing various errors in a report - which was working fine in the old setup. Errors include: cannot save, loss of PowerPivot function, update errors. I've tried repairing Office and Power Query. Any ideas?

I think the latest version is something like 2.17 or 2.18. Perhaps you are using an older version of Power Query than on the previous workstation? That would explain both the errors and the popups.

You state "Office 2013 Pro". I may be off base here, but my understanding is for 2013 you need the ProPlus SKU for any of the Power BI tools to work. Could that be the issue?
