USB Blaster for DE1 board

Windows 8 imposes strict limitations on driver signing. Because of this, unsigned drivers require extra steps for installation.

Win key+C>Settings>More PC settings>General>Advanced Startup>Restart Now>Troubleshoot>Advanced option>Startup Options>Windows Startup Settings>restart. After restarting your computer a second time, choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.

After restarting, you will be able to install the Blaster drivers normally; however, Windows will display a warning message. When the warning appears, click Install this driver software anyway.

The next time you restart your computer, driver signature enforcement will be in effect again. You will have to repeat this process for any new boards. If you have multiple boards to use with the same computer, we recommend installing the drivers for each one before you shut down or restart your computer.
