Honored ContributorI just wanted to say thanks for the answers in this thread, they've been incredibly helpful in getting my kit up and running for the first time.
One thing I'd like to add in case it saves someone trouble later, in my case I had already installed the USB Blaster drivers from Quartus Prime Lite 15.1, which seem to be troublesome, at least for this board. Things appeared to work fine in the Quartus Programmer (but not in the control panel), but on my machine they caused a BSOD a few minutes after programming - not a great first time experience! In the end, uninstalling these drivers and using the ones from Quartus 13.1.0.162 solved both the control panel issues and the BSODs for me. It might be possible to update Quartus but keep the old drivers (perhaps someone here can confirm?), I haven't attempted this yet though.
