  4. I'll add a bit to it :).
    1. First, go to
      Or planetminecraft and find a map.
    2. Once downloaded, unzip the file and you should get one of those typical yellow ones.
    3. Press Windows Key and R, in the box type %appdata% and press enter.
    4. Open the .minecraft folder.
    5. Look for the Saves folder. Open it.
    6. Drag the unzipped world file into there and it should be good, you just open Minecraft, login and choose it from the list when you go to load a game.
