Hello,

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

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.
