What are all the solutions available from Siemens to upgade the Operating system to Windows 7. Is it possible to install Windows 7 and licences in a seperate Siemens Hard drive and use whenever required becouse XP is also required to maintain old machines. Regards, Ramesh

In case of loss, you can get the drivers from the customer support. The only thing that is "special" with the Field PG are the SIMATIC components (S7 Card Reader/CP5711) which are getting their drivers from Step7 5.5 or higher. best regards, Devil2theDriver

If you got acces to the previous windows 7 instalation, all of the drivers should be in "X:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository", and on new system you can just select this folder on old harddrive to install all of them manualy.
