Step 1: Try Different Software Programs

If you can’t open M files, you may not have the right program installed on your computer. You can start by installing some of the most common programs associated with M files. A few of these associated software titles include Unknown Apple II File, Miranda language Script File, and Winamp3 Uncompiled Script. You can download one of these programs from the developer’s website.

Step 2: Use the File Type as a Hint

If you’re not sure of the file type, you can find it within the M file itself. Follow the steps below to find this information.
