Only a small group of people know that you can run Android on your PC. Having the ability to do this can be very helpful. You can perform tasks that you would normally do with an Android phone using the larger screen of your PC, your mouse, and keyboard.

However, trying to install an Android emulator on Microsoft’s latest and best operating system, Windows 10 is not a simple task. Some Android emulators may not be compatible with Windows 10 and some are very particular about the type of processor that the PC uses.
