Unable to create on-premise data gateway using personal account.

Hi,

I'm trying to build a power automate flow which can save a file to my computer, and hence using the file system connector. I need to install a gateway to allow power automate to interact with the file system. I'm unable to install the on-premise data gateway, it keeps running into an error at the first step " You can’t sign in here with a personal account, Use your work or school account instead"

I don't want to use my work account, and instead specifically want to use my personal outlook.com account.

(The installation works fine when I use my work account though, so i know my approach/steps are correct, just need to figure out why the outlook.com account doesn't work)

Any ideas on what may be causing this? Could it be because my personal account does not have Office 365 ?

(Although I am installing On-Premises Data Gateway, the error page seems to be on Azure.)

Thanks,

Rishu
