Hi emiguelsval09

The IPC itself can be ordered with operating system or without operating system (Windows).

The Siemens Software can no longer be ordered as a bundle:

But on the same order as the IPC, you can order the Siemens software for the IPC:

The specific MLFB number you list means:

6AV7882-0CA40-5CA0
SIMATIC IPC277E (Nanopanel PC); 12" Touch TFT; 2x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ45; 1x display port graphic; 1x USB 3.0; 3x USB 2.0; 1x serial (COM 1); CFast slot; 24 V DC power supply Celeron N2807 (2C/2T) 2 GB with NVRAM Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 32 bit; MUI (de, en, fr, es, it) 240 GB SSD without SIMATIC software

This means it is Windows 7, 32 bit. This version is not possible for WinCC Advanced 16 ot 17 to run, so make sure you order the correct operating system.
