How To Download, Install, Extract, and Compress Files For Free Using 7zip


So, you downloaded a ton of custom contents (CCs) and shit's not working in your game? Maybe it's a zipped file and you forgot or don't know how to unzip it.  
 
There's a free tool you can use to unzip files or even compress files to help save space on your hard drive. I use 7zip because it's easy to use and reliable.

 
Not sure how to use it?  
 
Here's how:
 
HOW TO DOWNLOAD 7ZIP
 
Visit https://www.7-zip.org/ and download 7zip. Choose between 32 bit and 64 bit, whichever is your processor. 



If you don't know what processor you have, look for this folder in your C Drive:


 If you have it, it means your computer is running on a 64 bit processor.  If you don't, then you have a 32 bit one.
 
After downloading that, follow these steps:
 
1) Double-click on the downloaded file to initiate installation;
2) The default location is C, but you can change it to where you want to install it;
3) Click on install and wait until it is done installing;
 

HOW TO ZIP/COMPRESS A FILE / FOLDER

1) Right-click on the file/folder you want to compress;
2) Hover your mouse to 7zip and choose either "add to" or "compress to____ and email";
3) A new folder with the same title will be created. That folder will be the compressed one.;
4) Hover over the compressed file and notice the folder size to be smaller than the original folder;
5) You can delete the original folder to save space on your hard drive and to avoid having issues with duplicate files;

HOW TO UNZIP/EXTRACT A ZIPPED/COMPRESSED FILE/FOLDER

1) Right-click on the file/folder you want to unzip/extract;
2) Hover your mouse on 7zip and choose "Extract Files";
3) Click "OK" and wait for it to finish;
4) A new folder with the same name is created and that is the unzipped/extracted folder.
