hlep requested - how to run android as a VM
I'd like to run a version of android (yet TBD) in a VM on my pc. I
have Windows 8.1 64-bit Pro with Hyper V. I've run across mention of BlueStacks (umulator) and PrimeOS as well as others. BlueStacks seems to get the most favorable recommendations for ease of use and installation. PrimeOS seems to be a full-fledged android OS. Both can access Google Play Store - important to me because the app I want to use is only available there as far as I can tell. My main concern is that I want to keep everything sandboxed as a precaution against malware. The info I've found so far about PrimeOS suggests that you have to set it up either on a bootable USB drive or as a dual-boot option. Neither of those options really appeal to me. I haven't found anything discussing if it can be run as a VM using Hyper V. Remix OS was another recommendation except that one review said that it hasn't been updated since early 2018 and appears to be no longer being developed. Is BlueStacks a sandboxed application so that malware would not get spread to my pc? Can PrimeOS be run as a VM in Hyper V? Thanks John |
