How to zip multiple files at once

Question:

How can I zip a batch of files? Previously I could select a bunch of them, right click and select to zip or compress them – now it’s not an option.

Answer:

You have two options:

Option 1: Use the Windows zip program by selecting the files you need as you normally would then right click > Send To > Compressed (Zipped) folder ... follow the prompts from there.

Option 2: Use the 7zip program by selecting the files you need as you normally would then right click > 7zip > Add to "Name of the file.zip". You can also select other options as you see fit.
