Not many PC comes with Dual boot operating systems. It is either a Windows PC or an Android powered PC. The most common being windows.

However, we all seem to be used to Android applications. Mostly because of their availability, ease of access and come at little or no financial cost. But whichever way you look at it, some Android applications have become A part of our everyday life. Some of them, you can't go half a day without accessing them. So what happens when you have to make the switch that could mean dumping your Android tablet for a laptop? Before long you would start wishing you can install some of those applications on your laptop. They would make your job easier!

Well I was in a similar situation and I discovered its possible for you to run your Android applications on a Windows laptop. Applications like WhatsApp, Dropbox, Can be installed on your computer and used as if they are on an Android phone.
To do that you need an application called BluesStack.
Download the application

Note: This file is a bit large. About 300MB.

With download complete, click on run to run the application and follow the prompt until its completed. Click on finish and the software will launch itself.
Click on the Android window to log in with your Gmail account. That should give you access to playstore where you can download all your Android Apps and enjoy.

At a point in the future, you will be asked to pay just $1 for this service. Same way WhatsApp used to charge its subscribers until recently when they scraped it off.

Note also that this software requires a lot of RAM usage. So be prepared for some lag in system response time. A small price to pay compared to what it does.

Visit this link to get the software and also detailed assistance on the installation and use of this software.

I think I will wait for Remix OS (you Google about it) to go mainstream. Then I'll have a dedicated ( or dual boot) laptop for Android apps.
