Android is invading now lives of everyone, however it is developed for Mobile devices and for PC, there is not much talk about it. May be Google don't want it on PC as for Computer, they have ChromeOS. But, that never means you can't use Android on PC. There are many tools (freeware as well as paid) which allows you to use Android on PC easily. Today, I will talk about Andy which I find better than Bluestack, Youwave etc.

Andy, the Android Emulator works on Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1 also. May work on Vista also but will not work on Microsoft Windows XP as its not officially supported.

So, installing Andy and using Andy is very simple, all you need is to download installer and RUN setup, you are down.
If you are using official ONLINE installer, then once you download the setup ,it will start downloading full installer and then will automatically run setup. See screenshots below..

However, if you wish to download directly offline installer then you can download it from Andy Offline Installer. Once you have downloaded Andy_41_x64.zip which is compressed setup file for Andy, you have to unzip ie. extract it and then run setup.exe found its root folder, rest will be again automatic. See some screenshot below:

Once you have installed Andy, you can run it through "Start Andy" shortcut on desktop. There is also a handy tool named as "HandyHandy" installed along, it allows you to do some basic operation on this Andy installation like Reinstall, change in resolution, full screen toggle etc. After installation of Andy, you can configure it similar to your any Android Device, you have to provide Google Account Username and Password and its ready to use.

Just to add here, Andy also installed Oracle VirtualBox and it uses it to run Android inside windows, this feature makes Andy more customizable and easier if you are familiar with VirtualBox.

Suggestion and feedback is adviced.

This looks cool , never heard of Andy before but I know about Bluestacks and have used it once. Is it better than bluestack ?

Yes, it is better than BlueStacks , just try it yourself and I hope you will love it.
