Do you usually work with RAR or 7-Zip files? If you are a Windows 11 user, you will soon be able to open them without installing any additional programs. Microsoft has announced that its operating system will have native support for this popular compression format, which is widely used to send files by email or on download platforms.
RAR files are a way of compressing several files into one, thus reducing the space they take up and making them easier to send or store. However, opening them requires specific software, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip, which is not always free or easy to use.
Microsoft wants to make things simple and offer a better experience to its users, so has decided to integrate RAR support into Windows 11 File Explorer. Thus, you will be able to view the content of RAR files, extract or create them with just a few clicks, without leaving the File Explorer interface.
Also, this native feature will not only integrate RAR files. 7-Zip, TAR or GZ files will also benefit from this feature.
Windows 11 continues to evolve and add features that make it more versatile and attractive to all types of users. What do you think of these news? Will you dare to try them when they are available?
