TFS 2017 Agent: and error occured while sending the request

I have a personal laptop running Windows 10 Home edition. I log into the laptop with my hotmail account. I installed TFS 2017 locally and I have it woring in the browser. I can clone the repository and push to it.

Now when I try to setup the build I have to add an agent. I downloaded the agent and when I try to configure it I get this:

PS D:\TfsAgent> .\config.cmd

Connect:

Enter server URL > http://localhost:8080/tfs/ Enter authentication type (press enter for Integrated) > Connecting to server ... An error occurred while sending the request. Failed to connect. Try again or ctrl-c to quit Enter server URL >

Soo, for some reason an error happens when it tries to connect to the server. I do not see any verbose parameter to the config.cmd or any logs for that matter.

Any reasons why?

Home edition of Windows does not support the full TCP stack nor does it have all of the tools expected by applications. You need Professional edition at a minimum.

I would recommend that you go to http://tfs.visualstudio.com and let Microsoft provision you a free TFS instance that you can use.
