How do I open .7z files in blender?

Hello! I’m new to blender (been going through some training online - but, still new) Anyway, I’m trying to get a model such as this one

to open in Blender - I’m not sure how to covert the .7z file to an .obj (or something that can be opened in blender).

Thanks~

the 7z filr is an archive, like rar or zip,
the model is inside it,
you have to extract it first, using 7zip program
