If I open the old project in version 21.1 I get the following:

Quartus can not find the "design entity" - meaning the project itself can not be opened.
Also some IP Components can not be updated such as the Qsys System.
The design compiled before without any errors. Now there are 18 processing errors two of which are:
Error (14923): Error upgrading Platform Designer file "qsys.qsys"
Error (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script "" unsuccessful
and 2 system errors:
Error (140001): Can't write LogicLock assignments. The Quartus Prime Settings File "" is unwritable.
Error (138003): Can't write incremental compilation assignments. Quartus Prime Settings"" is unwritable.

    In case some IPs are not found in the new version, I did the following:


    (1) Look in Qsys (in new version 21.1.0) for missing IP
    (2) Open old version (15.0.2) and open IP Cataloge of Qsys
    (2.1) Look for missing IP -> Right Click-> Details -> Open Component Folder (or look for other IPs in C:\altera\15.0\ip\altera)
    (2.2) Copy missing IP folder in the new project folder of new version (21.1.0)
    (2.3) Compile Qsis
    (3) Perform Automatic IP upgrade (if you do this, you might get the same error again)
    (4) Recompile
