Hello Dinabandhu;

A *.mwp program is generated by S7-Microwin, a software different from Step 7, and used to program a S7-200 CPU, not more modern PLCs, such as the S7-300/400, or the newest S7-1200/1500.

Here is a document that gives you more information on Microwin v4.0, now at SP9, the latest version produced.

Microwin 4.0 SP9 will run under Win 7, as you can see here:

However, the download you see in that link is only for service packs, you need to purchase the basis software, available from Siemens. If you choose to do so, I suggest that you contact your nearest Siemens distributor and inquire on price and delivery.

As an alternative you could start working with a trial license for Step 7 v18  to learn programming for S7-1200 and S7-1500 CPUs, it is  a free download and lets you access the software without restrictions for 21 days - after which you need to purchase a valid license. But it cannot work with a *.mwp file.
