Received a 7Z save file from tech support but I dont know where to paste it?

It opens with Text Editor if I click on it and I have no clue where to paste the save file.
Steam is installed on C and steam games on E

.7z archives can be opened with the 7-Zip archiver. If you don't have it, download the right version for your system from the official website:

https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

You can find out the details about your system by opening the runbox using the [Windows key + R] combination. Look for "OS name" and "System type".

When you download the installer, run it and follow the instructions on the screen. When the installation process is finished, right-click the save file you received from the tech support to open the context menu, go to the "7-Zip" category and click "Open archive".

Your next steps will depend on what exactly is inside the archive. If you're playing the Steam version of WWZ, the user progression file you will need to replace is located here:

<your_steam_dir_name>\<your_steam3ID>\699130\remote\

Your Steam3ID can be discovered by checking your profile on the SteamID.uk website[steamid.uk].

The file itself is called "user_progression.dat". Rename it to user_progression.cfg.bak (to have a back-up save just in case the one in the archive doesn't work). Then look for the "user_progression" file in your archive. Pay attention to its extension.

Is it ".cfg"? Then simply extract the file to the location specified above.

Is it ".dat"? Do the same thing, but change the extension from ".dat" to ".cfg" by renaming the "user_progression.dat" file.

Are these files even safe to download in the first place? I saw some other person asking to get a 100% complete file in another post.

the 100% save file is available since release. never seen anyone complain about being banned for it and there are plenty 999 level players in matchmaking (not that it means they're all using the save file). i guess the devs just don't care about it existing. i mean at the end of the day it affects noone in the lobby.

also save file transfer was encouraged by the devs when they released on steam. personally i also transfered my save file from epic via official instruction and had no issues.

Does anybody know if the 100% save file will give you access to the weapon perks that required you to collect documents from the different missions? As an example, I want to get the Boat Tail Rounds perk for the light automatic machine gun, but it requires me to have to have gotten 3 documents off of the Tokyo 3 chapter mission, which I haven't done yet as the challenge mission for that chapter has yet to come up and even if it had, I would die with the bot teammates. But if the save file has these perks, I'd be interested.
