How to open G64 files
If you cannot open the G64 file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports G64 among those that are installed on your device.

If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.G64) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected G64 file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK.

Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. G64) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
