# Quick tip: Android on PC. DONT USE BLUESTACKS!

For some reason, [Bluestacks](https://www.bluestacks.com/?ref=pupontech.com) is the number one recommended way to run android on a PC.

In my experience, it completely breaks random things on Windows (yes this isn’t highly specific but just take my word for it) . So here is a great alternative way to run Android on PC . You can use the open-source virtual machine software [Virtual Box](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads?ref=pupontech.com)as well as a stock Android image from [Prime OS](https://primeos.in/?ref=pupontech.com). To set up your Virtual Machine just follow this [guide](https://linuxhint.com/?ref=pupontech.com). GLHF
