Unlocking Microsoft Fabric: A Simple Guide when you only have a personal account.
"You cannot create a Microsoft capacity using a personal account. Use your organizational account instead."
What a disappointment and frustration! I've been trying to set up Microsoft Fabric for a while now and figure out how to work around this error.

2. Go to app.fabric.microsoft.com and log in using a newly created user.
With this workaround in hand, setting up your Microsoft Fabric capacity should now be straightforward and hassle-free!
