Run Android Apps and Games on Windows Desktop PC Using BlueStacks App Player

Do you Love free apps and games available on Android market but don’t have an Android device to use them? Want to run your favorite Android apps on your existing Windows Desktop PC? Now, thanks to a new application from BlueStacks, it is possible for you to run Android OS and apps on any Windows x86-based devices, including desktops, laptops, netbooks, and tablets, without modifying your system.
The software, dubbed the BlueStacks App Player, is not a dual-boot solution. It runs Android OS and apps on Windows PCs with instant switch between Android and Windows – no reboot is required, just like you’d launch any other Windows application. Android apps can appear either as icons on the Windows desktop, or within a full-blown Android environment.



Free BlueStacks App Player comes preloaded with 10 apps and you can install upto 26 of your favorite Android Apps. The pre-loaded Android apps that come with this includes apps like Pulse news reader, Bloomberg app, , and a couple of games. You can either download new apps from the BlueStacks Channel or push your favorite apps from your Android phone to your PC via BlueStacks Cloud Connect.
Key Features of BlueStacks App Player:
  • Play Android apps fast and full-screen
  • Push your favorite apps from your Android phone to your PC using BlueStacks Cloud Connect
  • Run 10 pre-loaded apps “out of the box”
  • Install up to 26 more of your favorite apps
