📘 open FictionBook on Windows
Windows has no built-in support for .fb2 (FictionBook) files, so double-clicking one gives you nothing useful. The fastest fix is to convert it to PDF, which Windows can open natively in any browser or with the built-in Reader app.

About .fb2 to PDF conversion
How do I open an FB2 file on Windows right now without installing anything?
Upload your .fb2 file to OpenAny.io and convert it to PDF. The converted PDF downloads in seconds and opens directly in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Windows' built-in PDF reader — no software installation required. Files are deleted from the server within 60 seconds of conversion.
Is there a dedicated FB2 reader for Windows I can install instead?
Yes. Calibre is the most capable free option — it opens .fb2 natively and also lets you convert to other formats. IceCream Ebook Reader and Thorium Reader also support FB2 and have simpler interfaces if you just want to read. If you only have one file and don't want to install software, the PDF conversion route is quicker.
Will the PDF conversion keep the chapter structure and formatting from the FB2?
Basic formatting like paragraphs, italics, bold, and chapter headings are preserved. Embedded cover images are also carried over in most cases. Very complex FictionBook features like custom stylesheets or nested annotations may be simplified, but for normal ebooks the result is clean and readable.
