How to Install Android Remix OS on Windows Laptop or PC

The Remix OS is based on Android-x86 project that we have been discussing from past 2 years. Now the Android-x86 has merged with Remix OS which not only brings the Android OS to your computer or laptops, but it also has made multi-tasking on Android OS better than it was before. The Android-x86 based installation was complicated and was not made for PC, it was ported. Whereas Remix OS is completely made for true Android experience on a PC. Though, it is not the OS which you can replace your desktop’s current OS with, but carry.

Remix OS brings the lovely Android experience to your computer system. It is based on the Android OS & is completely different from the already existing Emulators. So today in this guide we will show you how to install Remix OS based on Android Lollipop on Any Desktop PC or laptop running Windows.
