Plex Plugins question

Hi, I have been looking at you tube to download some links for PLEX Plugins and I found some, see below; Pic-1.PNG - problem I'm having is that I can not un-zip these folders,  I don't know if they are specific to Apple or if I am missing the proper software to unzip them.  This is a new Samsung Notebook BR8GSMT using Windows 10.  If someone is familiar with this, please let me know.

This is excellent.  The most comprehensive information I've seen yet.  Before I begin, can you tell me if Windows 10 comes with the ability to unzip compressed files or do I need to download the one you suggested?  I have other computers on Windows 10 and I need to know if they all need this program.  You have been extremely helpful.  Many thanks.

Win 10 comes with unzip utility but there might be chance that the built-in tool will not work.

7zip is open source zip and unzip utility and it is very likely that the plugin files are zipped with 7zip.

One last question, How do I unzip a compress folder?  Do I first open 7Zip and look for the folder or does it automatically take over when I double click the folder?
Jackie Man

after you have installed 7zip, when you right click a zip file, there is an option to extract to a folder.

One last thing, how do I use 7zip.  If I right click the folder and select 7-Zip, I can Open archive, Extract file, etc.  My understanding is that once the file is open, it will produce a folder with a . Bundle extension and if you remove the .Bundle from the name, it turns into an icon which you then put in the Plex Plugins folder.  I tried that on one and the folder did not turn into an icon.  It remain a folder which is now named "Unsupported Appstore.
