How to open a m file script with current version of matlab.

Hello, I am having some difficulty opening a .m file. My current version of Matlab is R2020a, i downloaded a provided a m file script for one of my labs, however when i try to open it, it leads to me having to download the R2017b version of matlab. My question is, how do i open this file with my current version (R2020a) instead of having to install an older version. Thank you very much.

I sounds like Windows is trying to use an older release to open the m-file. My 'solution' is to open files from Matlab itself.
