How to Open ISO Files

On Windows

1. 
   Install WinRAR. WinRAR is a free-to-install program that you can use to open many file types, including ISO files, and while you're encouraged to pay for WinRAR after the trial period ends, there is no penalty for failing to do so. You can install it by doing the following:

   1. Go to https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm in your computer's web browser.
   2. Click WinRAR x64 (64 bit) 5.61 near the top of the page.
   3. Double-click the downloaded setup file.
   4. Click Yes when prompted.
   5. Click Install.
   6. Click OK, then click Done.
2. 
   Find the ISO file. Go to the folder location of the ISO file you want to open.
3. 
   Select the ISO file. Click once the ISO file to do so.
4. 
   Right-click the ISO file. Doing this prompts a drop-down menu.
5. 
   Select Open with. It's in the drop-down menu. A pop-out menu will appear.
6. 
   Click WinRAR archiver. This is in the pop-out menu. Doing so opens your ISO file in WinRAR.

   1. It may take WinRAR a few minutes to fully extract the ISO file.
7. 
   Review your ISO file's contents. You should be able to see each of the ISO's files in the WinRAR window.

   1. Many ISO files will have a "setup" file (e.g., setup.exe) that you can double-click to run.
