Run Android Apps on Windows Using Emulator
Using an Android emulator, you can easily play all your favorite games and enjoy apps on your Windows PC. There are various Android emulators available that you can download and install on your Windows PC, however, I recommend you to use only these popular Android emulators.
Bluestacks
BlueStacks is a very popular Android emulator for Windows PC that one can download from its official website. It has an inbuilt play store where you can download & install all the Android games or apps on your PC. It allows you to play all your favorite Android games (e.g. PUBG Mobile, COD: Mobile) directly to your Windows laptop. You can customize your game controls with a computer keyboard. Along with that, you get the ability to switch the graphics quality of the games as well as increase the frame rate. Some other features include a game-in screenshot, video recording, multiple device profiles, etc. With all these features combined, BlueStacks can make your gaming a lot better on Windows.
LDPlayer
LDPlayer is a free Android emulator for Windows PC. The latest version of LDPlayer is based on Android 7.1 (Nougat). It offers all those features that you already get in BlueStacks. You download & install Android apps and run them directly on your PC. Along with that, you can play your favorite Android games (e.g. PUBG, COD) with higher graphics quality and a higher frame rate. Download LDPlayer from here.
