Can I create a website from a backup? Please read

WordPress noob here so bare with me,

We paid a company to create and maintain a website however they are terribly unresponsive and we have changes to the site we want to make. I asked them for credentials and they sent me an entire zipped backup of the site. Is it possible for me to restore this site under my wordpress account and maintain it myself?

Thanks

    In theory, yes. But it really depends on what exactly they exported when creating that backup.

    >under my wordpress account

    Can you explain this part a bit more? Do you mean can you set it up in the hosting account that you, yourself, have purchased? The account you use to log into the existing website? Or in your WordPress.com account? Or your WordPress.org account? (might be useful to read this: )
