Unzipping file..Need Winzip ?

Post by Rusty1961 »

I have windows 10. Do I need to purchase winzip to unzip this game that I downloaded?

If not, how to do?

Thanks.

Go out and get 7zip. It is free and does an amazing job.

7-zip is pretty well 'the standard' now.

BTW, Windows 10 accesses zip files natively, but 7-zip is still better and easier.

WinRAR unpacks all known standards. Including ARJ, and TAR (and obviously ZIP)

Thanks, guy. I didn't need to unzip it as all I had to do was move the file to desktop and I could run it.

Odd, ja?

Not odd. Win 10 has zip support built in.
