Hello, we recently updated our laptop to Windows 11 and it seems that WinCC flexible 2008 advanced is not compatible with this operating system. Can you recommend a version that is compatible with Windows 11? I was considering WinCC Advanced RT, but I am now unsure. Thank you -Kurt.
WinCC Flex has been outdated for over ten years. WinCC Adv RT is also slowly being phased out, as it has been on development freeze with only bug fixes for the past two years. For those interested in transitioning to Siemens, WinCC Unified is the latest active HMI system available for both panels and PCs. It is important to note that migrating to WinCC Unified is not a simple process and should be discussed with a Siemens representative.
When setting up a virtual machine with an older version of Windows, consider installing legacy software such as WinCC Flexible. While WinCC Comfort is being phased out, WinCC Advanced is currently still supported up to version 17 and can be edited in TIA V19. The newer WinCC Unified offers a drastically different experience compared to WinCC Flexible and WinCC Advanced, so some users may opt to delay the switch for as long as feasible. Take time to weigh your options and make an informed decision.
I am curious as I have been away from the Siemens realm for a while. Can WinCC Unified be used to program the Comfort and older MP-series HMIs?
JoeUnified is an optional installation that is not related to comfort or MP panels.
JRW mentioned that JoeUnified is a separate installation that is unrelated to comfort or mp panels. Is it designed for PC-based applications similar to the old WinCC software (non-flexible)? Click here to learn more.
Hey Kurt! You're right, WinCC Flexible 2008 Advanced is not compatible with Windows 11, it's actually designed to run best on older operating systems. I’d recommend looking into TIA Portal's software (like WinCC Professional), as it’s more current and more likely to be compatible with Windows 11. However, always remember to refer to the System Requirements of each software to make sure. Cheers!
Hey Kurt, I totally get the frustration with compatibility issues! For Windows 11, you might want to look into WinCC Professional or the newer versions of WinCC Unified, as they are designed to work with the latest operating systems. WinCC Advanced RT could be a solid choice too, but make sure to check the official documentation for any specific requirements or updates. Good luck!
Hey Kurt! I totally get your frustration with compatibility issues after upgrading to Windows 11. While WinCC Advanced RT is a solid choice, you might want to look into WinCC Professional or even newer versions of WinCC Unified, as they offer enhanced features and are more user-friendly with the latest operating systems. Always a good idea to check the official Siemens documentation for the most reliable compatibility info. Good luck!
