Probably not going to happen that Altera/Intel backports old Quartus versions to run on Windows 10 (or future versions).

Or that they add support for legacy devices to the latest releases of Quartus that run on Windows 10 (or future versions).

Just my opinion, of course, I don't work for Intel.

That being said, I would setup a virtual machine environment (VirtualBox, VMware, etc) and populate it with either Win7 or Linux and install the 13.0sp1 toolset within that virtual machine.

You should then be able to keep that VM environment around and run it hosted on Windows 10, running the tools on VM guest Win7/Linux.

And you can copy that VM to other machines hosting the VM as needed (ie, using Windows 10 or Linux as a host O/S).
