Right click the file and ‘Extract all’. Open the new directory, then the one named ‘Tor’. Double click on Tor.exe.

Sounds suspicious, there's no need to do that at all.

My advice: Do not do this. Follow the guide in the docs at the Bitcoin github.com page.
There's a link in the linked article that goes directly to the TOR Project's website. That's what it is telling people to download and extract. Furthermore, the link is to the download page, not a directly download link itself.
