We get asked a lot of highly technical questions which we do try our best to answer and post guides on this website, however, sometimes we also get asked basic questions like “How do I open a zip file?”.

To most of us this is second nature, but there are a lot of people out there that do not know how to do things like this, so we made a quick video to show you the basics on how to do this.

You can obviously use the built in Windows extracting but we personally hate it and always install and use 7-Zip so this video is based on you having 7-Zip installed.

Video Demo

You can download 7-Zip by Googling it.
