You can use windbg.exe to load and analyze dump files.

windbg.exe
Thanks!
Also I see that I can open them in N++ and save as txt files ) -
if they are real dump files, you cannot read them properly with npp.

@Ekopalypse, For the record
The ‘.dmp’ dumps in “AppData/Local/Crash Dumps” and “Program Files/Notepad++” are real dumps and I can open them only via WinDBG
The ‘.dump’ dumps in “Temp/N++RECOV” are pseudo-dumps, in fact backups of the last open unsaved files in N++ at crash, and they are in text format in fact so I can recover now easily the lost documents.
