Run Android And Make Your PC Dual OS

Run Android And Make Your PC Dual OS

Intel is now interesting to support Dual Operating System on PCs and other devices with Windows 8 and Android as well. You could able to run Android Apps and even Android OS on your current PC, which allows to use Android's ecosystem of touch based Apps for touch enabled Windows Laptops and Tablets. 

So, if you wish to run Android Apps on your Windows PC, you should have to install BlueStacks, a multi-OS with virtualization technology, where Apps developed for different OS and executable on the same computer. It doesn't replace your entire OS instead runs Android Apps within a window on Windows desktop. It supports multiple OS with user interface is fully configurable and the installation for Apps can be get from Google Play. Some similar applications like youwave, windroy are also work good but BlueStacks is better and stable for running Android Apps on Windows.

There will be a number of developers in Android community to experimenting Android OS. Few of them are: Android On Intel Architecture, Android-X86 and AndroidSDK.   

Android On Intel Architecture (or Android IA) is Intel's own distribution for Android to their new Intel based PCs with UEFI firmware. This project is not stable and presently supporting some selected devices such as ACER Iconia W700, Lenovo X220T and X230T and Samsung XE700T.  For further info check Quick Start and Devices pages.

                                                

Android-X86 is Google's Android Mobile OS to run on devices powered by AMD and Intel-X86 processors, which allowing to install Android on a laptop or tablet. 

Certain platforms, such as  ASUS Eee PCs/Laptops, Viewsonic Viewpad 10, Dell Inspiron Mini Duo, Samsung Q1U, Viliv S5 and Lenovo ThinkPad x61 Tablet, are officially tested at this time.

 

Bear in mind that this project is also not stable and needs extra caution when installing it on physical hardware.  

AndroidSDK is Google's official Android emulator, which designed for developers to build, test and debug their Android Apps. You can use it to run Android OS in a window on your existing system. It is useful to test Android's latest versions of Apps and it is rather slow and not a good choice for everyday use. 

 

To get Android Emulator, download Google’s Android SDK, open SDK Manager program, and select Tools > Manage AVDs. Click New button and create Android Virtual Device (AVD) with your desired configuration, then select it and click Start button to launch it. 

BlueStacks is the best choice to run Android apps on your Windows computer, and it is the easiest, slickest, most stable option.
