2386How do I unzip a Zip file using Windows?
A zip file is a compressed bundle of files and folders. Files are often zipped to make it easier for them to be emailed or transferred.
In Windows 7 or in the Windows 8 desktop, you can view the contents of a zip file just by double-clicking on it.
To edit the contents, or to run a program in a zip file, you first need to unzip it:
- right-click on the file
- choose Extract All
You can then choose the location to save the contents.
