There are plenty of Android emulators out there that you can install for your PC. Picking the right one is a matter of personal preference, desired features, and current system requirements. If you have an older Windows computer, you'll probably want an Android emulator that is not dependent on many system resources. However, if you have a newer Windows PC you'll probably want something that makes use of your existing resources and runs quickly on your machine. Fortunately, there are currently a few options available.
Here are a few Android emulators you can download for your PC:
- YouWave - Fully functional, Windows-based Android emulator
- BlueStacks - Lacks the Android OS, but allows for playing Android games
- Official Google Android emulator - Used by Android app developers
- Android-x86 with VirtualBox - Android OS for Windows- or Mac-based virtual machines
There will most certainly be more options for installing Android emulators on your PC in the future, but for now one of those four options should definition suit your needs.
