    unzip

    Right-clicking the ZIP file and selecting Extract should extract the ZIP in the same folder.

    For other archives like RAR, you might have to download and Install WinRAR:

    WinRAR download and support: Download

    unzip

    Hi Bev, the application Vijay recommended is not a paid for product and 8zip is not an updated version of 7zip, it is a totally different product . . .

    unzip a file?

    Zip file from a download or what are you trying to unzip ? Windows 10 can extract a .zip file.

    Does it matter what file it is as long as it has a .zip? and on my original post I ask "How can I unzip a file? "

    Seemed like wanted to unzip a windows system file i was not sure, why i asked. As far as i know from doing it, Windows 10 can extract. zip files. If have trouble there are third party apps can do it to, 7zip ,WinRAR, etc...

    unzip a file?

    I downloaded a file from a window 10 book called Windows 10 step by step and in Windows 10 I double click on it and I got garbage and then I tried my windows 7 computer and by double clicking on the file it was fine.

    ending of the file was .zip ? Hard to say since i can not see it as it happens from my end, you can use third party apps as mentioned for Windows 10 if you have these issues, but i have opened many zip files with no issues, maybe something different about format of this zip file.

    Install 7 zip.
    Download

    Note : make sure you pick the correct bit-version.
    After installed, right click at the zipped file > click 7-Zip > click Extract Here
