.7z A new type of file to me, help rqd.

Post by hobby »

I have downloaded a file onto my computer but I cannot open that file.

The file identity ends in .7z

I am not familiar with thar type of file for I usually work with winzip or rar files.

Can a forum member please tell me how to open that type of file?
