Can anyone please suggest an easy-to-use, free Zip / Unzip program?
I had Winzip when I was working, but my company paid for it. Someone got me to download 7 Zip, but I found it confusing.
Using Windows 10 on a Dell laptop.

Sorry, it's been a long time since I've used any compression programs so I don't want to rec any. Good luck!

I'm able to unzip most files in Windows 10. Right click and it says, "Extract all"

should narrow the list. Try a few until you find one that works for you.
Or you run out of energy, a familiar process.

Just right click any file or folder and then choose send to compressed zipped folder.
I also use 7-zip on windows if I need more fine grained control.

I apparently have 7-zip installed, but I don't us it.
They aren't fancy files or anything that I unzip in Windows 10. Lately they've just been one file that it's compressed.
