How To Manage Zip Files in Windows 10 Like A Master and Champion

Hey, you! Want to download any kind of thing from any kind of place and work with it on your computer? You need a zip file! Now it’s time to unzip it…

In Windows 10 out of the box, the process is a confusing mess.

1. Double click the zip file in explorer.
2. Open the windows explorer ribbon section for compressed tool.
3. Click Extract all
4. Enter a location that is something like the name of the archive as a new folder inside the current folder.
5. Click Extract
6. Go back to the folder where the zip file is
7. Delete the zip file

Ew.
