How to open a .7Z file?
If you have problems opening the file 7Z, then in most cases the problem is only the lack of the proper application installed. Select one of the programs from the list and install it on your device. The operating system should automatically associate the 7Z file format with the installed program. If not, right click on your 7Z file and select from the menu "Open with" . Then select the installed program and confirm the operation. Now all 7Z files should automatically open with the selected program.
