Default What free Android emulator do YOU use on Windows for running F-Droid APKs?

This is trivial to transfer files over the local LAN from Android to
Windows and vice versa.

I've been doing it for years using zero software on Windows and just the
one "FTP Server (Free)" open-source software on Android.

Windows file explorer works fine, as does FileZilla or WinSCP freeware to
transfer *anything* from or to Android and Windows over the LAN.

You can even use rsync-like tools to sync your Android memory with your
Windows hard disk.

The idea of looking for an Android app that works on Windows
sounds silly to me, considering the excess of Windows' apps that
has existed for decades.


VanguardLH kindly wrote up an extensive analysis of his Android tools with
respect to their need on Windows, as did I in response.

Other than the really free nice hourglass timers on Android, and the very
easy to use free photo manipulation tools, Wi-Fi debuggers (particularly
for laptops), Bluetooth OBD Scanners (for laptops), SMS/Visual Voicemail
apps, police/fire scanners, and calculator widgets, I think most of the
rest of the tools on my Android phone have better Windows counterparts.
