Manthan2246 Posts: 3 Rating: (0)	Dear All, I have Simatic PCS7 v7.1 installed in my workplace. Recently Microsoft has announced, that it is going to end it's support for Windows XP, hence all the Workstations need to be updated to Windows 7 in order to get all the updates and patches from Microsoft. What are the suitable methods by which we can run PCS7 v7.1 with Windows 7 or are there any suitable upgrades??
