If you don't want to install homebrew, you can install keka (which is an excellent gui for (un)compressing btw) and then link to the included version of p7zip found at Keka.app/Contents/Resources/keka7z
If you are using the Postman web client, you will need to also download the Postman desktop agent. The Postman agent overcomes the Cross Object Resource Sharing (CORS) limitations of browsers, and facilitates API request sending from your browser version of Postman. Read the blog post.

x86 is a "CPU" architecture which was initially used with 16bit "chip" and later on extended to be used on 32 bit chip. For most of the time, we used a 32bit chip(each number represented with 32 bits) that had x86 architecture. So basically, when we said this computer (CPU) is x86, it meant 32 bit or vice versa and same with OS, if an OS was 32bit, then it meant it was running x86 CPU architecture chip. (I'm not considering ARM here)
Now, due to the limitation of memory usage with 32bit chip that it can only support 4GB of RAM, x86 was then extended to be used on 64 bit chip, so basically now the same architecture (instructions set) was used to build a chip that used 64bit to represent a number, hence 64bit chip. Initially it was called x86-64 and later reduced to x64 which meant that x86 is the architecture on a 64bit chip.
For quite a long time now, Apple supports running Windows on your x86-based MacBook. The supported method is to use BootCamp Assistant. Although this does work in a lot of cases, there might be reasons to manually install Windows on your MacBook. For example if you want to get completely rid of macOS. Other reasons could be dropped support for older MacBooks, the ability to use a custom/modified Windows installation or if you want to install on an external drive. This post explains how to install Windows on a 2019/2020 MacBook (Air) equiped with a T2 security chip without using BootCamp Assistant.
Since 2018, Apple is equipping their devices with a T2 security chip. This chip has a broad feature set related to security. It allows, for example, to save encryption keys or the signatures for the touch ID sensor in a secure way. One of those features is to protect the boot process by only allowing Apple-signed operating systems.
In order for us to install a copy of Windows, we first need to disable part of this security and explicitly tell the T2 chip to allow starting other, non Apple-signed, operating systems. Also by default, booting from external media, like a USB drive, is not supported.
The result is a fully working Windows 10 installation on your MacBook. After using this installation for a few days, I noticed that everything is working just fine. Battery life seems similar as in macOS and performance is as well. The only component that is not functional is the fingerprint scanner (Touch ID) as the data for it is also stored in the T2-chip, for which Apple does not release any drivers/documentation on the internals.
Notes: the macOS packages work with macOS 10.15 or later (Intel version) and with macOS 11.0 or later (Apple Silicon).For older systems, older 2.12.beta packages can be downloaded here:Intel version: / Apple silicon version:
Currently, VirtualBox DOES NOT WORK on an Mac computers that use the M1 chip. To install a virtual machine with Windows you will need to use UTM instead. Please see our Instructions for Installing UTM on M1 Macs.
Next, we will create shared folders. This will allow you to share the same folder such as "Downloads" between the Mac side and Windows side. This will allow you to download files into your MacOS in a folder and access it from the Windows VirtualBox and vice versa.
Microsoft Edge can run natively and is probably the best browser for Windows running on Arm. It offers the same functionality and features as the regular version, and in fact, Microsoft recently launched Edge for Mac devices running on the M1 chip, so even Mac users can appreciate this one. On Windows, Edge is preinstalled and it's the default browser, so you're already getting a good experience out of the box.
If you enjoy listening to music or podcasts, you're probably no stranger to Spotify. While it's been around for years, it was only recently that the company released an experimental Arm version of Spotify that runs natively on Arm-based Windows devices. There is currently a known issue with it where you might be unable to watch video podcasts through the app, but aside from that, everything should work fine, and it will perform much better than running an emulated x86 app. You can download the Spotify beta here.
The popular file archiving tool 7-Zip has been testing a native Arm version for a while, and it's already available as a stable release. This is a free tool that lets you comrpess and extra all kinds of archives, including ZIP, RAR, and 7z formats. You can find the latest version on the 7-Zip download page.
VLC has a native app for Windows PCs running on Arm. It's essentially the same video player we're used to that can play all sorts of video formats. You can download the Arm version of VLC from the official website, though you have to use the dropdown menu on the download button to specifically get the Arm64 version of the app.
Like the UWP-based Netflix app, there is a standalone Twitter app that can be downloaded and installed on devices with Windows on Arm. You can grab the official Twitter app from the Microsoft Store. Technically speaking, the Twitter app is a progressive web app (PWA), so it's not exactly native to Arm, but it runs on the Microsoft Edge engine, which is.
The 'Your Phone' app for Windows allows you to link your Android phone to your PC to view and reply to text messages, make and receive calls, get real-time mobile notifications, run your phone apps, though that last feature only supports certain phones, including some Samsung devices and the Surface Duo family. You can even copy, edit, and drag and drop photos without ever touching your phone. The app can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store and supports notebooks running on Arm and Arm64 platforms.
Bandizip is another free file archiver for Windows operating system that supports all major archive file formats and various customization options. It has officially supported Windows 10 on Arm since v6.18, and it works natively on Arm64 CPU. You can download Bandizip from the Microsoft Store here.
FileZilla is a free and open-source, cross-platform FTP application, featuring the FileZilla Client and FileZilla Server. It supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS protocols along with features such as Site Manager, Directory Comparison, File and Folder View, and Transfer Queue. You can download FileZilla for Windows on Arm here.
You can download the latest version of Visual Studio here, and it will automatically install the Arm64 version if your device has an Arm processor. You may need ot uninstall the previous x64 version for it work, however.
This isn't an app you really need to download, but recently, Microsoft released an update for the Xbox app that's installed with Windows 11 and Windows 10, adding native support for Arm devices. Now, the Xbox app itself doesn't run games locally, but what it does is support Xbox cloud gaming. Until recently, you could only use cloud gaming through the browser, and the only browsers that really support Arm are Edge and Firefox. Now, you can use the Xbox app to play top-tier Xbox titles on Arm-based devices like the Surface Pro 9 with 5G.
If you're looking for games, there are some popular titles that can run natively on Windows running on Arm chipsets, but it's worth noting that many of these aren't typical PC games. Many were designed for Windows 8 and Windows Phone back in the day, which is why they needed to support Arm processors. There's a running list of games that can natively run on Arm-based Windows laptops and tablets which includes all of these. There are also some more typical PC games that support Windows on Arm, like League of Legends, DOTA 2, Starcraft 2, CS: GO, Minecraft, Plague Inc., GTA: San Andreas, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
First go to -zip.org/download.html and download the exe for the latest version ( -zip.org/a/7z1801-x64.exe). Also you should download the command line version of 7zip 9.2 which you can get as a zip ( -zip.org/a/7za920.zip).
I guess you want the "portable" version of the program, that is one that can even be executed once burned on a CD. You can find many of them at the portable apps site.For the 7zip program, the >instructions say that you still have to "install" it once to extract the program parts and set the configuration file how you want, but that the resulting executable (and its config file) can then be redistributed as it is
To all others who is asking about the need for this.. The exe or the msi are packaged as installers, which require admin access on windows. The actual 7zip file manager does not need admin access as long as you want to run as an app and don't worry about adding explorer context menus. Previously they used to publish a simple zip with all artifacts, which can be run as standard user. Now you need to go through this procedure to get it.
We use benchmark results for 32 MB dictionary ("25:" line in results of console version). If 32 MB dictionary results are not available, we use the results for smaller dictionary. Most x86 tests were performed on Windows with official 7-Zip binaries. Some tests were performed in 64-bit mode.Most of the tests for other platforms were performed with p7zip compiled by GCC with speed optimization.
Note: new versions of 7-Zip provide improved performance.For example, latest versions of 7-Zip for x64 and arm64 platforms use optimized code for decompression written in assembler, so the rating results can be 1.7 times larger that with previous version of 7-Zip.But most results in the table represent measures performed with old version of 7-Zip before these optimizations.If some CPU was tested with new version of 7-Zip, there is a mark about version number of 7-Zip.If there is no version mark about version number, it was tested with version that provides the performance similar to version 7-Zip (p7zip) 16.02. 2ff7e9595c
