hey everyone mr sugano here in today's
video we are going over
7-zip probably the only file archiver
that you will ever need
let's get started
all right to kick things off there have
been a lot of people asking me if i'm
going to do a video on 7-zip
well here i am 7-zip is an amazing
program it's a free program
and it's a safe program 7-zip is an
alternative to programs like winzip and
winrar
on top of that 7-zip is compatible with
unzipping or unpacking most compressed
file formats out there
and probably most importantly if you
have ever seen the 7z or 7z
file extension that is a 7-zip file to
get started head over to
7-zip.org i will leave a link in the
description below
from this page you have two different
options a 64-bit version or a 32-bit
version
i'm going to guess if you're on a
windows computer that you have a 64-bit
computer
if not the 32-bit version will
absolutely work but
try the 64-bit and then if it doesn't
work try the 32-bit
so what i'm going to do is click
download here and download
7-zip and it's a massive 1.4 megabytes
this file is pretty tiny now if you
don't have a windows pc
don't worry head over to the left hand
corner of the screen click the download
button
and just scroll down to the bottom of
the page hopefully
one of these links will be helpful
depending on the operating system you're
currently running once you've downloaded
7zip open up the setup file and then
click
install installation should take less
than 10 seconds
the next step is optional but
recommended i do recommend restarting
your pc if you restarted your pc you
will see a 7-zip file icon
attached to any 7-zip files you have
furthermore if you click on any files
you will see
a 7-zip option in the menu and from here
you can do things like open the archive
extract
files extract them to a certain folder
you can even zip files here to the 7-zip
format
or even the standard zip format now to
unzip a file you have a few different
options you can just double-click any
sort of zipped file
and then see what's inside of it and
take whatever you want out for example
if i want this file right here i can
just drag and drop it
and it will automatically extract it the
second way to do things if you just want
to extract everything in the file is
just right click on the zipped file go
into the 7-zip menu option here
and then either select extract here or
extract to a specific file
if you select extract here it will just
dump everything in the folder that
you're currently in
alternatively if you were to go to
extract to a specific
folder it will dump everything into a
specific folder and maybe not make
things as messy and now the easy way to
zip something you can either zip an
individual file
multiple files or an entire folder all
you have to do is just highlight
whatever you want zipped
right click it the 7-zip menu option
should be right at the top or at least
close to it
and then just add it to where you want
to for example i'm going to add it to
roms.7z and then it'll compress
everything and that's pretty much
it once the process finishes up your
zipped file will be ready to go
i highly recommend 7zip it's a very easy
to setup and use program it's highly
compatible
and highly functional on top of all of
that it's absolutely free
but anyways that is all i've got for
