How to run Android Apps on PC

Have you ever thought of running Android Apps or Games on your PC? It is really simple, easy and straight forward to run any sort of Android App on our Computer. Windows machines natively don't support APK files, for the same reason, we cannot directly install APK file on our PC just like what we do with EXE files. We will need to use a software called Android Emulator for this purpose.

Android Emulator will create an Android environment in our PC by which we can install any sort of Apps or games. The best part is that almost all Android Emulators these days come with Play Store loaded by default. This means that after the installation of the Android Emulator you can go ahead and install any of your favorite apps from the Google Play Store without any issue. You can even sideload apps apart from the Google Play Store.

Easily install Android Apps on PC

First of all, you are required to download an Android Emulator and install it on your PC. You have multiple options like Bluestacks, MEmu, Nox App Player, etc. Click Here and download the Android Emulator of your choice. The procedure is pretty much the same for all Android Emulators out there.

In this case, we will use Bluestacks as an example.

Download the Bluestacks Installer and then install it on your computer. Make sure that you have at least 2GB of free space and a minimum of 2GB of RAM for Bluestacks to work on your PC.

Once installed, just open Bluestacks with the icon that you can find in your Desktop

The first time boot will be a little longer than usual. This happens because it is loading everything from scratch for the very first time. Hereafter, you will be able to open Bluestacks even faster.

Once opened, you will find the Google Play Store icon at the home screen itself. Tap on the icon and it will launch the Google Play Store. In order to access Google Play Store and it's features you need to sign in to your Google Account. If you have an account then sign in to it or if you don't then create a fresh new Gmail account and login to Play Store.

Now search for any App or Game of your choice and install it as you would do in your Android smartphone.

Once installed, you can find the app icon in the App Drawer and open it up from there. Normally use the app as you would and this is the easiest method to install and run any Android App or Games on our Windows PC.

Android Emulators are also available for macOS and Linux apart from Windows. So, if you have a computer running other than Windows, it will be not much of an issue for you. Having said that, you can also sideload the APK file if you have it or even install the app using it's OBB and Data files and folder.

This is the easiest way to run any Android App on your PC. This is will be really helpful for people who want to play Android games on PC.
