    Did grab a copy as you suggested.  Stupid Question:  I'm not familiar with .rar files.  Can you point me in the proper direction??  Thanks.

     


    If you are installing a Windows version of the genie, Windows itself can guide you in the right direction.

     

    The usual "double click" move on a rar file will offer to visit the Microsoft Store for software to handle rar files.

     

    There are dozens of choices. 7-Zip, WinZip or UnRar have been around for a while.Ignore invitations to pay for anything.

     

    Going down the Microsoft Store route means that less risk that you will t end up visiting somewhere slightly dodgy.

      Yes, michaelkenward, I was looking for assistance with the desktop Genie for my Windows OS.  Thanks for your help.

        Grab a copy before Netgear tries to hide it again.
