Quartus Prime LIte - USB Blaster/USB Blaster II and compatibility with Windows 10

Hi

Is Quartus Prime LIte - USB Blaster/USB Blaster II and the associated drivers compatible with Windows 10? When I try to make any kind of JTAG connection to a MAX V using a USB Blaster I get a blue screen IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. What is the less costly path to programming and being able to use the Logic Analyzer functions in Quartus Prime Lite with MAX V CPLD with computer with a Windows 10 operating system?

If there are any questions or suggestions please let me know.

    Interestingly, I'm using Quartus 15.1.1 Web-edition on Windows 10 where I communicate with a Terasic DE0-Nano-SoC with an embedded USB Blaster II interface. And it have worked flawlessly for me.

    I've heard that Quartus will not install on windows 10, but if a computer with windows 7 has Quartus already working it will continue to work if the computer is upgraded to windows 10.

    I installed Quartus on windows 10, *after* win10 was installed. No problems with that.

    Hi,

    Before I crashed my Windows 10 pc, all of 13.1 components were working. For what it's worth...
