Hi,

does your PC provide sufficient RAM for utilized FPGA according to Quartus release notes? Otherwise different OS memory usage may make the difference.

    Hello,

    New system has 512 GB and 64 cores :-) . Old system 32GB and 6 cores. 

    I was trying to figure out what could possibly be different since project and Quartus are identical. The "use all available cores" options seemed like a possibility, but I limited it to 6 (also tried 1).

      When I say Quartus is identical, I had downloaded the full 5.8GB install on Windows 7:

          Quartus-lite-19.1.0.670-windows.tar    5,897, 490 KB

      and used it to install on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. The project itself was also just copied. Other than the old computer was an Intel processor and the new one is AMD Ryzen, seems like they should be the same. And other than this one option, it appears to work fine.
