Thousands of mobile applications are available for Android smartphone users. Not always the amount of built-in memory allows you to install and try to test a game weighing several gigabytes. The modest characteristics of many gadgets, as well as the early version of the operating system, are a powerful argument for installing an Android emulator on a desktop computer.
What is an emulator
This is a small program installed on a stationary computer or laptop, which provides the user with all the functionality of a mobile operating system. The amount of memory is limited only by the amount of free space on the hard disk, instead of a touch screen, a finger touch is replaced with a normal click of a computer mouse. As it is easy to understand, the functions of the virtual keyboard are performed by the physical keyboard, however, in the same messengers, a choice is provided when typing.
Installation and launch
At the moment, the most popular emulators that copy the Android interface are BlueStacks. Installation is no different from installing regular programs. Double-clicking on the file with permission, select the directory and click. After starting the emulator program from the shortcut on the desktop, we get a full-fledged Android running on the computer.
At the first start, as well as after buying a new smartphone, you need to configure the basic parameters: time, date, language, keyboard layout. In order to download applications from the Play Store, you need to create a new one or enter an existing Google account.
if during or after installation the emulator gives an error, you can try to install an earlier version of the program.
