I just want to install mobile games on my PC. I took a look on search and dowloaded a few games in apk files. But they are not like the setup.exe as I uasually install. My Pc can not detect this kind of file. I see some people play mobile games on their PC. How can I do that?

Please give me some advices!

You can not just install an Android game on a PC, you must run it in an emulator, or some other environment that provides the Android frameworks

The SDK for Android development comes with an emulator, you can install it from https://developer.android.com

Make sure to also install the HAXM hardware acceleration library, or your emulator will be extremely slow.

How To Extract Apk Files On Pc?



You can extract them with something like winzip/winrar/7-zip etc they are just archives with a bunch of files in but you won't be able to actually play them without doing as Olof suggests but in that case you don't need to extract them, just install them to your emulator.

Have you ever heard about "Bluestacks"? It is a software turn your computer or laptop into an android device.

Visit it's official site to dowload: http://www.bluestacks.com/download.html

Now, it's time for you to dowload your favorite mobile games in apk files.

Let me take my favorite app as an example:

Ez iCam (You can visit this site to dowload apk files)

After dowloading, right click on the apk file --> Open with:

Install an Android / iOS emulator if you are using Windows. Else try using Remix OS.
