how to unzip a zip file?

Answer 1

Depends what type of zip file it is. Most people use WinZip to compress and extract zip files.

You can download it here:

Install WinZip.

There are different ways to extract the files. I believe that right clicking on the file and choosing to extract the file to a certain location is the easiest.

You could also just double click the file and click the button extract and choose a location to extract the files to. It is up to you.

If it has a file extension of .rar you may need to install winrar:

This is the one I use because it is able to extract zip files also and the type of files I download are usually in the .rar extension.

I hope this helped.
