ZIP (compress) files and folders in Windows 11
Windows 11 (and 10) has a "Zip" feature built into File Explorer for compressing files instead of a standalone application. In this guide, I'll explain how you can use it to quickly compress files or collect a bunch of files to send over the web. In addition to File Explorer's Zip feature, you can also compress files using PowerShell commands.
However, these file compression features are limited compared to other applications. For example, you can control the compression method and level, but you cannot use password protection or choose the encryption method.
In this guide, I will show you the steps to create a ZIP file to compress content on Windows 11 or 10.
