   I've got a new HP Stream 11 - shipped with Win 8.1 and has been upgraded to   
   Win 10. It came with 7-Zip pre-installed, which seems to be working just fine   
   with these newer Windows version.   
      
   However, I'm curious what Dale means by 'PKZIP format' - is he referring to   
   something other than standard *.zip archives?   
      
   If it's just a standard *.zip file, no additional software is needed - either   
   to unzip or to create a new compressed *.zip file - Windows for quite some   
   time has included support for both unzipping and compressing - though it can   
   be a bit awkward and non-intuitive.   
      
   (For those who don't know how, right-click on the Desktop or some other   
   location in Explorer where you want a compressed file; pick New from the   
   context menu, then Compressed Folder. Give the new 'compressed folder' the   
   name you'd like your *.zip file to have. Then copy the desired contents into   
   that 'folder' - the copied files will be compressed.   
      
   Similarly, Windows treats a *.zip file as a folder - double-clicking opens the   
   folder and allows you to copy the contents from that folder to another   
   location - uncompressing them along the way).
