We mention in the video, that you can run Crossover for free if you do not want to/or can't afford the license fee. It is a bit tricky but possible. So to do this download the trial period of Crossover, and install it, as seen in the video. Use Crossover for the free trial period of two weeks. After your two weeks are finished, remove your Linux Apps in your system settings (you will lose all your Linux Apps and Linux Folder, in your file manager) and then turn it on again and setup Crossover and 7-Zip again. We know it is not convenient, but it works!
