Opening .tar.gz Files on Windows

Hey guys!.. wel come back .. there are plenty of way out there to open
.tar.gz Files on Windows ... the best one is 7 Zip...


A .tar.gz file is a compressed archive, similar to a zip file or a RAR file. In order to open a .tar.gz file, you need special software that knows how to decompress the archive.
7-Zip is a free file archiver that runs on Windows and can open .tar.gz files. Downloadand install 7-Zip, and you will be able to open up your .tar.gz file.
If 7-Zip does not launch when you double-click the .tar.gz file, ensure that 7-Zip is set to handle these types of files by default.


  • Open up 7-Zip
  • Click Tools → Options
  • Go to the “System” tab.
  • Make sure “tar” and “gz” are checked off.
  • Click “OK”.
Hope this helps...
