How to compress folders in Windows 11?

To compress a folder in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

1. Find the folder you want to compress, right-click on it, select “Send to” from the context menu that pops up, then choose “Compressed (zipped) folder”. This will create a compressed file named after the original folder.
2. Another way is to open the folder, select the folder you want to compress, and then click on the “Compress Options” button on the “Start” menu. This will display a new “Compress Options” toolbar above the folder.
3. Click on the “Compress this folder” button in the “Compression options” toolbar. This will create a compressed file with the same name as the original folder, saved in the same location.

Regardless of the method used, Windows 11 will automatically compress the selected folder into a .zip file format.
