Wikipedia states that The File Explorer in Windows XP does not support ZIP64, but the Explorer in Windows Vista and later do.[citation needed], but I have not been able to find a confirming source.

Is Windows 10 shipped with tools that can un-zip and zip with the format ZIP64, and if so, what tool(s)?

    Windows 10 File Explorer can un-zip and show any modern ZIP file. Is that what you are asking? – John Oct 12 '20 at 19:30
  • I have clarified the question. – Bojack Oct 12 '20 at 19:48
  • Windows 10 does not ship with an "unzipper" It can show files in Windows Explorer. I use WinZip V25 for true Zip work. – John Oct 12 '20 at 20:47
  • The windows shell has a built in "unzipper". Right drag a zip file and select "extract". If you want it from the command line, you can use powershell directly PowerShell Expand-Archive -Path "source_zip_file_path" -DestinationPath "folder_you_want_unzipped_to". I am not sure about zip64, TRY IT. Also 7zip is the best TRUE free tool out there and also supports rar and 7zip own (superior) format. – Señor CMasMas Oct 13 '20 at 04:37
  • I just found this page too. It points out that windows 10 comes with tar.exe which (unlike posix tar) can create compressed zips. https://superuser.com/questions/201371/create-zip-folder-from-the-command-line-windows – Señor CMasMas Oct 13 '20 at 04:41
