How to Decompress LZMA Files
LZMA is an archive file type used by the program "7-Zip." An archive file is one that holds other files within it. These files inside are compressed together to make them smaller and easier to transport. After they are compressed, the LZMA file must be then decompressed in order to access the files that are inside it. In order to do this, you'll need an archive program that compressed them in the first place, such as 7-Zip.
