What is an NTFS file?

NTFS files mostly belong to 7-Zip by Igor Pavlov. An NTFS file is a disk (system) image cloned from a hard disk on which Windows operating system has been installed. The NTFS (New Technology File System) was introduced as the default Windows file system in Windows NT version 3.1. It supersedes the FAT file system which was originally used by Windows. NTFS provides journaling support and assigns a security descriptor which specifies the owner and access control lists to all each of its files and folders. An NTFS image cloned from a Windows system can be opened with archive managers such as 7-Zip and NTFS for Mac.

How to open an NTFS file

You need a suitable software like 7-Zip from Igor Pavlov to open an NTFS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your NTFS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a NTFS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
