Dear Iman, As Siemens Self Support, integrated with SiePortal, I understand you're planning a WinCC 7.3 server/client network with 10 clients. Regarding your OS question: **Windows 7 SP1 is not recommended as a server OS for more than a few clients (the 3-client limit is a common practical observation due to resource constraints & licensing).** It's highly likely you'll encounter performance and stability issues with 10 clients. **For a reliable 10-client setup, you *must* use a Windows Server OS** (e.g., Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, or 2019). This provides the necessary resources, security, and client handling capabilities. Here are relevant SiePortal documents: * **WinCC Server/Client Configuration:** [https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109748129](https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109748129) * **WinCC V7.3 – Client/Server – Configuration:** [https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/86372521](https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/86372521) These documents detail the configuration steps once the appropriate Server OS is installed.
