hi everyone and welcome back this is paul from techlink and in today's video i want
to show you how to install the google play store on your laptop or pc so you can run mobile games
and apps without the need of a smartphone or tablet and you can do this in a few easy
steps on any computer that meets the minimum system requirements which i will talk about
later on for the purpose of this video i'm going to use my windows 10 laptop but you can do this
on devices that run on mac os or other versions of windows now the first thing you want to do is
open a tab in your browser and head over to this website right here bluestacks.com
and in here click on the download button of the bluestacks 5.
there is another version called x or 10 which serves for a slightly different purpose i will
tell you more about it in this video but for now let's just proceed with the installation
of this software so when the installer file is downloaded just click on it to open
allow it to make changes and click on install now
this might take a while based on your computer and internet connection so as
i mentioned previously there are some minimum system requirements for you to run this program
but it's nothing major is like basic specs nowadays you just need 4 gigahertz of ram
and 5 gigas of free disk space up-to-date graphics drivers and windows 7 or later
now what this does basically it's a software that simulates an android device on your computer so
you can run apps and games that otherwise would be available only on mobile devices
there are many emulators out there but i prefer bluestacks over the other since it's a well
established company and one of the most trusted platforms also their software uses up to 50
less ram memory than any other emulator based on what they claim and this makes a huge difference
when it comes to gaming as we all know you need a lot of hardware resources to run the latest games
this should translate into a faster and smoother gaming experience but the best thing i like about
them is the platform they launched in the end of 2021 called bluestacks 10 or bluestacks x
this is huge us is the world's first cloud-based android gaming platform which means you can now
play games on the cloud without having to download them and use your own resources and all these
completely free but it doesn't end here let's say you are not sure whether your hardware is suitable
to play the game you want bluestacks 10 has a built-in kind of ai which dynamically decides if
you should play an android game on cloud without installing it or if you should play the game after
downloading and installing it on your pc so yeah that's why i prefer it over any other emulator
once the installation is complete you're going to see a screen that resembles the one of an
android smartphone-ish so what you want to do next is click
on the play store icon and you need to sign in with your google account
click on i agree accept
and now you can type in the search bar whichever app or game that you normally use on your
smartphone and install it on your pc or laptop so yeah that's pretty much how you do it if you
