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.
virtual machine is best option
To install STEP7 v5.5 SP3 (DVD update release) follow these steps.1. Download and install the latest-bit version of automation licence manager.

2. Copy DVD content to any directory on hdd.
3. Modify ./Setup.exe using any resouce modification software. EgResourceHack. Add the line
<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 am afraid but i have never used before
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.
