Where to find Quartus Prime Device Files

I have just installed Quartus 20.1.0 (it's the latest my company is allowing).  In attempting to create a new project, Quartus says I must install device support files (Quartus Device Files, or .qdz ???).  Anyway, I can't find any "device files" or "qdz" files on the Intel site.  Where can I find these?  I'm looking specifically for the MAX10 10M16SA device.  Thanks for any feedback.

Nevermind.  I found them.  Just had to do more digging.  Shouldn't have been that difficult.

You choose the device installer from the Quartus Tools menu or from the Windows Start menu (standard Quartus installation).

I need to find the .qdz files from the intel website or whatever cloud they are stashed

on. The installer seems to me is looking for the downloaded files. I need the download them first

but sure as heck can not find them with a google search.

Is it really that hard just to post a link to a library or GIT repository? Really?

For future reference, just switch to "Individual Files" to find the .qdz files.

Doesn't seem resolved to me. device files were not downloaded with the install. How hard is it just to post a link

to the device files? A good answer is a pointer to a website. Anything else is substandard.
