You may do the steps by Repackage as a catalog‑visible IP If you want it in the IP Catalog so you can instantiate in Platform Designer / IP Parameter Editor:

  1. In Quartus 25.1, open the IP Parameter Editor (Tools → IP Catalog).
  2. Create a new ALTPLL variation.
  3. Use the .ppf file from your old project to re‑apply the same configuration (the Parameter Preset File can be imported in the editor).
  4. Generate the IP — this will produce a .qip, .v, .bb.v, and updated .ppf that is fully compatible with 25.1.
  5. Now it appears in the IP Catalog because it was created using the current IP library.

I think this will be the fastest way,
