To unzip a ZIP file, locate the file on your computer and then extract its contents. The specific steps vary slightly depending on your operating system:
On Windows:
- Locate the ZIP file: Find the ZIP file in File Explorer.
- Right-click the ZIP file: This will open a context menu.
- Select "Extract All...": Choose this option from the menu.
- Choose a destination: A dialog box will appear, prompting you to choose where you want the extracted files to be saved. You can browse to a specific folder or use the default location.
- Click "Extract": The files will be extracted to the chosen destination.
On macOS:
- Locate the ZIP file: Find the ZIP file in Finder.
- Double-click the ZIP file: macOS automatically unzips the file.
- The extracted files appear: A new folder with the same name as the ZIP file (without the ".zip" extension) will be created in the same directory, containing the extracted files.
In summary, unzipping a file is generally a simple process of locating the file and selecting the appropriate extraction option provided by your operating system.
