Not sure why you would change a zip file to an ipsw? The IPSW files I played with were iPhone firmwares...

When you download these files Windows defaults them to .zip.

In the file, save as window you clicked through the one below the filename allows you to choose the file type. Change it to all files and then add .IPSW to your file name - Simplessss :alberteinstein:

Just noticed you didn't get your firmware, try this -
