Hi,
To practice Power Platform and Dataverse without a work or student account, your options are somewhat limited due to Microsoft's account requirements. However, here are a few suggestions:
Microsoft Developer Program: You can sign up for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program using a personal Microsoft account. This gives you a free sandbox environment with access to Power Platform, Dataverse, and other Microsoft 365 services for development and testing purposes.
Trial Environment: You can create a free trial of Power Apps or Power Platform using a personal account, though some features may be restricted. Visit Power Apps Trial and follow the steps to set up a trial environment.
Community Plan: Microsoft offers a Power Apps Community Plan which is ideal for individual use and learning. It includes Dataverse and is free for personal development. You’ll need to create a Microsoft account if you don’t already have one.
Please verify if this helps you get started.
Thanks and best regards, Daniele Note: This response was prepared with support from Copilot to ensure clarity and completeness.
