Hi all!

This is my first time dealing with any FPGA, so bear with me here

I am using a DE2-70 for a project, I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop running windows 10

I am trying to communicate with the board with the control panel, with no success- I keep getting the "failure to download code/failure to connect with FPGA" message

Can anyone suggest a full order of operations, from 0% to 100%, for how to use the control panel. Starting from which version of Quartus II to download, which files to download, which order to install them in, etc.

Thanks!

PS. I read that when I plug in the board, I will get a pop up asking me to install a driver for the USB blaster. I did not get such a pop up, so please include instructions for that as well
