Android natively on Windows without emulation. This software is very user
friendly and supports all the features of Android OS. This software supports
multiple resolutions and user interface is just like Android. This software

input to use it. Windroye works on a virtual machine and has better app compatibility as compared to other emulators. Windroye also allows users to use their Android device as wireless remote or joystick for enhanced experience.
