Open Windows Explorer. At the top, click on Tools.

Then click on Folder Options. You will see 3 tabs across the top of the window - click and open View.

In View you will see a long list of choices that can be checked or unchecked with a left mouse button click.

The one to effect display of file extensions is about the tenth click-able box or circle down from the top of the list.
