Andy Android Emulator lets you run Android apps on Windows PC

Have you ever wanted to play Android games on your Windows PC or run Android apps like WhatsApp on your Windows PC? The idea seems great and is brought to reality by Andy. Andy from Andyroid is a free Android emulator that runs on VMware VirtualBox technology. Though facing competition with BlueStacks, Andy stands out differently with some features that even BlueStacks doesn’t offer.

Andy Android Emulator for Windows PC

Andy gives you a pure Android feeling by installing an Android tablet firmware in a virtual space. Switching to the full-screen mode will make you feel like you are operating an Android PC.

Let it be games like ‘Clash of Clans’ or social apps like ‘WhatsApp’, it can run almost any Android app on a normal Android tablet.

Developers offer many bundled apps, including popular games and social media apps, for the Android platform.

This freeware comes pre-installed with the 1Click Sync application, which ensures seamless integration of apps from PC to mobile device without making a connection. You can use your mobile as a remote control for Andy to play games by downloading the Andy Remote Control app from Google Play here.

The developers compared Andy, BlueStacks, and YouWave, considered the best Android emulators. I would like to include the comparison in this post to highlight the features where Andy stands out.

Run Android apps & games on Windows 11/10

Installing and setting up Andy is very easy. You need to run the setup, click ‘Next’ a few times, and then the installer will be on its own. It will automatically download the required files and VirtualBox and integrate Andy into VirtualBox, and you will not even feel that you’ve installed VirtualBox on your Windows computer. If you manually want to change some settings for Andy, you can open VirtualBox from the Start Menu.

Overall, Andy is a complete Android solution for Windows, but if you consider turning your PC into an Android machine, Andy will not be a suitable option. It has been developed to allow you to enjoy apps on a bigger screen that is available on your Android phone. Playing mobile games on a bigger screen is fun, and if you get applications like WhatsApp on your PC, it is amazing, too.
