Best Windows OS and Hardware Specifications for Running TIA Portal Versions 13-15

Question:

Hello everyone! I am looking to set up a virtual machine to run TIA Portal versions 13 to 15. Can you recommend the Windows OS and hardware specifications needed for each version of the portal? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Also, is there a specific virtual machine software that is recommended for this task? Thank you for your help.

I initially used Windows XP SP3 with TIA v13, then upgraded to Windows 7 Pro to run both v13 and v15 without any problems. I still have the virtual machine, although I'm unsure about compatibility with Windows 10. It is worth looking into Siemens' compatibility charts for each version to ensure your operating system is supported.

Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 32/64-bit today for a seamless computing experience.

Is 64-bit computing the right choice for my needs?

Hello Damian, it seems there may be missing information regarding the specific versions of TIA portal you plan to utilize. To address this, I suggest utilizing the Siemens Compatibility Tool for further guidance. Additionally, I have included detailed information in the attached document specifically for STEP7 (TIA) Professional as a quick reference. I hope you find this information helpful.

Hey there! For running TIA Portal versions 13 to 15, Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate Edition with SP1 or higher would be appropriate. Hardware-wise, an i5 or better processor, 8GB of RAM and about 50GB of free space should suffice. As for virtual machine software, VMware or VirtualBox should align well with your needs. Both have a good track record with setting up environments for TIA Portal. Don't forget to allocate sufficient resources to your virtual machine though; it'll need it to run smoothly!
