With more than 2.5 billion active users, Android is the most used operating system in the world . And it is that 7 out of 10 people have a device that uses this technology, which from my point of view is a success since it is quite stable and versatile, as well as having great support from the community. The problem is that technology is taking giant steps and it is possible that you have invested money in a Smartphone to realize that after a few months you need to update it or buy a new one because it has literally become obsolete and some applications and games could not be compatible. Luckily, there are emulators like Nox App Player that allow us tocreate a test environment based on Android directly on the desktop of our PC . In this way we can install Android games and applications in Windows 10 .
