I think that the best way is to install VMware, create a new virtual machine with Win 7, and then install Step7 with all its components and licenses.

2. Copy DVD content to any directory on hdd.

<supportedOS Id="{4a2fe3-b9--ba9c-dd4a4a6e}"></supportedOS> //this is the os ID of Windowsbit

4. Modify ./InstData/Setup.ini under section OS.

PlattformIDAllowed =1;2;3

Add the lines

Winx=1WinxExclude=SKU2;SKU3;SKU5;SKU8;SKU9;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKUWinxWarning=SKU2;SKU3;SKU5;SKU8;SKU9;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU;SKU

5. Modify all msi-files to enable the ingore-button on installation failures (like installing on unsupported OS's). Use any software possible to manipulate MSI-files. E.g. InstEd.

Search for DLG_INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS_DISABLE_IGNORE. Change Action from Disbale to Enable.

Run ./Setup to start installation. Press the ingore-button when told it's not possible to install on running OS.Good luck!

I think Chinedu Abuaja is right.

I will install Virtual Machine on my windows 10 and then install window7 on the virtual machine, which will allow  me install my step7 v5.5 on it.
