If you want to run Android apps on your Windows 10, then you need to download emulators as they are specifically made for this purpose.
However, not everyone wants to download an emulator on their Windows 10, because it might contain a virus or is not accessible.
How to dual boot Windows 10 with Android 10?
Another alternative to download Android apps is through dual-booting Windows 10 and Android.
Even though it is a lengthy process, but it is much better compared to using any emulators available on the internet.
When you dual boot Android and Windows 10, it will let you use Windows and Android on the same PC.
Why not Use Emulators?
Most people must be wondering why to use dual-booting when you can take the easy way out and use emulators. The first advantage of dual booting is that the user gets access to the full version of Android on their system, and the performance is much better as well.
Moreover, even though emulators are easy to download, they are compatible with limited Android apps, while dual booting doesn’t have any limit.
