Archiving the game allows the user to slightly reduce its volume. It should also be noted that this action can be performed for more convenient copying of a particular computer game to the media.
Necessary
Personal computer, game, archiver
Instructions
Step 1
If your computer does not have an archiving program, install it first. Today the most popular archiver is WinRAR. To download the installer of the application, visit the official website of its developer by entering the URL win-rar.ru into the address bar of your browser.
Step 2
Wait for the download of the installer of the archiver program, then check it for viruses (despite the fact that the installer was downloaded from the official resource). To check, click on the downloaded installer with the right mouse button and select the appropriate command (it will be displayed if antivirus software is already installed on the PC). If the antivirus does not detect a system security threat, install the program.
Step 3
During installation, try not to change its default parameters. After you install the program, activate the trial version (you can use it for free for one month). After this period has expired, you have the right to delete the application or purchase a paid license.
Step 4
After you activate the trial version of the archiver program, you will be able to archive games. This is done quite simply. Go to the hard drive section where the game itself is located. Open the game folder, then hold down the left mouse button and select all the documents in it. Right-click on any of the selected documents. The file properties table will open. In this table, you will see the "Add to Archive …" parameter. Click on this parameter.
Step 5
As soon as you select the "Add to Archive …" item, a window will appear on the display where you can specify a name for the created archive, as well as change some parameters of its creation. If you are new to work with this program, just rename the archive to the name of the game, then click on the "OK" button. The archive will be created.
