Windows Command line now supports tar from Windows 10 insider build 17063. You may try run the below command in cmd or PowerShell to see if it works:

tar -xzvf your-file-name.tar.gz

`tar -xvzf C:\PATH\TO\FILE\FILE-NAME.tar.gz -C C:\PATH\TO\FOLDER\EXTRACTION` is the full syntax , you seem to omit/typo the dash in front of a parameter – FantomX1 Aug 10 '20 at 01:46
For those that don't know what the parameters mean: `x` means extract, `z` means gzip and that the file is `.tar.gz` or `.tgz`, `v` means verbose, `f` means the next argument is the filename. – codeananda Jul 20 '23 at 15:53

7 zip can do that: http://www.7-zip.org/

It has a documented command line. I use it every day via scripts.

Plus: it is free and has 32 and 64 bit versions.

You are right, sorry. The best documentation is in the help installed by installer. Then you can find a good support in forum. – user_0 Dec 05 '14 at 13:28

Windows 10 command line supports tar command

Write the tar command as general to the Linux terminal.

tar -zxvf tar-filename.tar.gz --directory destination-folder

Another option is the Arc program:

arc unarchive test.tar.gz

in windows compand promt use quotation marks ("") when specifying the path. It will work properly

Exaple : tar -xvzf "C:/PATH/TO/FILE/FILE-NAME.tar.gz" -C "C:/PATH/TO/FOLDER/EXTRACTION"

tar -xvzf "C:/PATH/TO/FILE/FILE-NAME.tar.gz"
