Have you downloaded all the documentation / tools / software for the board from Terasic? See: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=183&no=226

This is an older board design using the Cyclone II device, and I think you will be limited to QuartusII v13.0sp1 as the latest version that supports that device family.

However, I also believe v13.0sp1 requires Windows 7 32b/64b or earlier; Windows 8/10 are not officially supported. So you might need to get an older computer, or a newer FPGA board.
