How to Open .7z Files in Windows 7

Can I open .7z Files in Windows 7?

.7z files are archive files generated with the 7-Zip software, and yes, you can indeed open these files in Windows 7. The latest release of the 7-Zip File Manager works with Windows 7.

Get the 7-Zip software

You will need to download and install the 7-Zip software in order to work with these types of files. I used the 32-bit .exe file, but if you know that you have a 64-bit system be sure to download the appropriate .msi installer.

Open a .7z file

Once the 7-Zip software is installed, it will add a helpful new option to your Windows 7 context menu.

  1. Right-click on a .7z file. The right-click context menu will appear.
  2. Click “7-Zip”.
  3. Choose one of the options for extracting the file.

I chose “Extract Here” to put the .7z archive’s contents in the same location as the original file – on my desktop – but you can also choose to extract it to a folder with the same name as the archive, or pick “Extract files…” for more options.
