How To Open STL File?

Hello Friends, Can you share your own thoughts about it? One of my friends sent me an STL File of his project. But I am not able to open it on my Windows 10 PC. How to do this?

RE:

For just viewing you can use any of the many online STL viewers, eg.:
https://www.viewstl.com

There are many free smartphone STL viewer apps as well.

For printing on a Prusa 3Dprinter I would install PrusaSlicer (works on all platforms, includng Raspberry Pi for me (2.3.3 on 32bit)):

For other 3Dprinters cura is an alternative (I used that with 3Dprinter of my son, before getting my Prusa MINI+):

You have Windows 10. So, you can use 3D Builder and 3D Viewer.

Thank you very much for your help. Sorry for the late reply. But I have already solved this problem using the 3D Viewer app with the help of this article which was also suggested by Lichtjaeger.
