How to open 7z archive

One of the highest quality archiving formats according to the compression ratio is 7z, which in this direction can even compete with RAR. Let's find out, with what kind of programs you can open and unpack the archives 7z.

Software for unpacking 7z

Almost all modern archivers can know if not creating objects 7z, then, in any case, browse them and unpack them. Let us dwell on the actions algorithm for viewing the contents and unzip the specified format in the most popular archival programs.

Method 1: 7-Zip

Let's start our description from the 7-ZIP program, for which the 7Z is declared "native" format. It is the developers of this program that created the format studied in this lesson.

1. Run 7-zip. Using the file manager located in the center of the archiver interface, go to the accommodation catalog of the target 7Z. To see the contents of the archived object, click on its name with the left mouse button (LKM) twice or click Enter.



2. A list is displayed where archived files are presented. To view a specific element, it is also sufficient to click on it with LKM, and it will open in the application that is specified in the default system to work with it.

If the 7-ZIP program is installed on the default computer for manipulations with 7Z format, then it will be enough to open the contents, while in Windows Explorer, click twice the LCM by the archive name.

If you need to perform unzip, then the algorithm of action in 7-zip will be somewhat different.

1. Moving around using a 7-zip file manager to the target 7z, mark it and click on the "Extract" icon.



2. The archived content recovery settings window starts. In the "Unpack B" field, you should assign a path to the directory where the user wants to perform ripples. By default, this is the same directory where the archive is located. To change it, if necessary, click on the object to the right of the specified field.



3. Launched folder overview tool. Specify the directory in it where you are going to perform unpacking.



4. After the path is registered, press OK to activate the extraction procedure.

The 7Z object is unzipped into the folder that is indicated above.

If the user wants to unpack not the entire archived object, but separate files, then the actions algorithm varies slightly.

1. Through the 7-Zip interface, go inside the archive, files from which you want to remove. Make the selection of the desired items, and then click "Extract".



2. After that, the window opens, where they should be pressed for unzipping. By default, it indicates the same folder where the archived object itself is located. If there is a need to change it, then click on the object to the right of the line with the address. The "Folder Overview" will open, about which there was a conversation when describing the previous method. It should also set the unzipping folder. Click OK.



3. Selected items will be immediately unzipped into the folder specified by the user.

Method 2: WinRar

The popular archiver WinRAR also works with 7Z, although this format is not "native" for it.

1. Run Viryrr. To view 7z, go to the directory where it is located. Click on his behalf twice LKM.



2. The list of elements in the archive will be displayed in WinRAR. To start a specific file, you must click on it. It will be activated by the default application for this expansion.

As you can see, the actions algorithm for viewing the contents are very similar to the one that has been used when working with 7-zip.

Now let's find out how to unpack 7z in Viryrr. There are several methods for performing this procedure.

1. To unpack 7z, you fully mark it and press "Extract" or type the combination Alt + E.

   

   You can replace these manipulations by right-clicking (PCM) by the name of the 7Z object, and select "Remove to the specified folder" in the list.



2. The "path and extraction parameters" starts. By default, unzipping occurs in a separate folder in the same directory where 7z is located, which can be seen from the address that is specified in the "path for removal" field. But if necessary, you can change the end directory for unzipping. For this purpose, in the right window of the window using the built-in tree-type file manager, specify the catalog in which you strive to unzip 7z.

   In the same window, if necessary, you can set the overwriting and update settings by activating the radio button near the corresponding parameter. After all the settings are manufactured, click OK.



3. Extraction will be produced.

There is also the possibility of instant unacceptable without specifying any additional settings, including the path. In this case, the extraction will be executed in the same directory where the archived object is placed. To do this, click on the 7Z PCM and select "Extract without confirmation". You can replace this manipulation with Alt + W combination after selecting the object. All items will immediately be unzipped.

If you want to unzip not the entire archive, but certain files, then the actions algorithm is almost exactly the same as for the unimbranch object as a whole. To do this, go inside the 7Z object via the VIRRAR interface and select the necessary elements. Then, according to how you want to unpack, make one of the Lenses:

• Click "Remove ...";
• Select "Extract to the specified folder" in the context list;
• Type Alt + E;
• In the context list, select "Remove without confirmation";
• Type alt + w.

All further action holds the same algorithm as for the unimaging archive as a whole. These files will be retrieved either in the current directory or to the one you specify.

2. Exactly the same window of the unpacking settings window opens, as well as with complete ripples, which we considered above. Further actions are exactly the same. That is, you need to specify the path to the directory where the extraction and other settings will be made if the current parameters are not suitable for some reason. Click "Extract".
