Unfortunately, Windows 10 does not support opening .dmg files natively. To open a .dmg file on Windows 10, you will need to use third-party software. One option that many users find useful is 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org/).
To open the file with 7-Zip:
1. Download and install 7-Zip (if necessary).
2. Right click on your .dmg file and select “7-Zip” then “Open Archive” from the context menu.
3. The contents of the DMG file should now be displayed in a window, allowing you to browse and extract individual files as desired or drag them all out for access in Windows 10 directly.
