I’ve tried this on my machine development machine (i7 5960x, 32GB RAM) and a lower-end test machine (i5 2400, 12GB RAM) and both work perfectly with no lag.įirst, you’ll want to download the Visual Studio Emulator for Android from here: This guide assumes you already have Hyper-V installed, and that you have a fairly powerful machine. Personally, I don’t like it as it’s very invasive and the service that it installs kept crashing but YMMV. Note: if you’re in this just to run Android apps on your pc and you’re not a developer, you might want to consider BlueStacks ( Google Bing it). I did however, have a Windows tablet with an internet connection to my development machine which does have an Android device, albeit a virtual one! Recently I was in a situation where I needed to demonstrate an Android App to a client, but didn’t have an Android device with me.
