   Public Service Announcement:
   
   On 8-29-17, the author of 7-Zip released version 17.01 beta, which can be found at the 7-Zip.org Homepage. (Top, right-hand side)
   
   Although listed as a beta, it has been running great for me on Win10.
   
   I don't recommend version 17.00, as according to the author, "7-Zip 17.00 beta ignored "Use large memory pages" option".
   ***************************************************************************
   Links:
   7-Zip.org Download Page (Multiple versions available, including 9.20 for compatibility reasons mentioned by TheRomans below.)
   SourceForge Page - Includes versions dating all the way back to 2003.
   Direct downloads:
   7z1701-x64.exe for 64-bit Operating Systems ONLY
   7z1701.exe for 32-bit OS's.
   ***************************************************************************
   Want to customize 7-Zip's icons, toolbars, etc.? Check out 7-Zip Theme Manager.
   It hasn't been updated in a while but works with the current 7-Zip version & on Windows 10. Be sure to get 2.1 AND the 2.1.1 hotfix.

   Inithis, 7-Zip will open any archive uploaded to the Nexus. Winzip and WinRAR will too but they are not freeware like 7-Zip.

   darthrevan4513, most everything you do with 7-Zip will be done using the context-sensitive explorer menu. When right-clicking on an archive, you will see a 7-zip menu where you can Open or Extract To a folder or create a new archive from selected files and folders.

   Marineberry, no. It works better and it is free...unlike WinRAR. I think if you read the description and tutorials, it will answer your questions.
