Thank you.
I have made some progress and will continue. I have successfully installed the Oracle Virtual Box and Downloaded and successfully
installed the 14_7 ISE . I needed first to get a windows 10 pro upgrade (and then windows 11 Pro) as the software requires to pro model of windows. At that point I learned that a VM (virtual machine) was required and as stated above was successful.
Unfortunately at that point, my machine had to go in for a warranty repair. On another machine I have been trying to find the time
to bring it up to a working point. I thank you for your help and guidance and the links provided
