Correct. I'm using Windows 11, Does that mean that with the current computer I am not going to be able to compile?

Is there any other way to use ISE 14.7 in this OS?

Just my experience on this:

I have ISE FPGA code I can compile fine in Win11, but as soon as I need to modify any IPCores, it fails.

For this reason, I have also made a VM with Win 7 so that I have full functionality.

I ran into the same thing several years ago when our company transitioned to Win 10.  For firewall reasons out of our control we couldn't use the NI cloud compile service.  Instead we found a complicated workaround that involved taking a big folder of files from an old Win 7 computer that had the ISE tools working properly and putting it in the right place in Win 10, and then messing with some setting.  It sort of worked . . .

Eventuality we got fed up with fighting that scenario.  We just set up another computer with Win 7 and the ISE tools installed and put it on the local network as a compile server.  It's the only thing we use the computer for, and it just sits in the corner until needed we don't even have a screen or keyboard for it anymore.  We've been doing this for years and it still works great.
