Windows is frustrating, nuff said. How does an Apple Disk Image file, aka .DMG, not being able to open natively on Windows make Windows frustrating?

Although .dmg is a macOS disk format, there are a number reasons of why you'd want open them on Windows computers. Here's how to get started.

If you need to open a DMG file on your PC to access business-related files, such as documents or databases, you can do so using a PC software application called 7-Zip.

If the DMG file is stored somewhere else, like on a USB hard drive, unplugging the drive without first unmounting the DMG file can corrupt the part of the file that tells your computer how to open it.
