Android-x86 is an open-source project that allows you to install the Android operating system on computers equipped with x86 processors (Intel or AMD), effectively turning your PC or laptop into a true Android workstation. Here are the three main features that set this program apart.

Broad Compatibility with x86 Platforms

Android-x86 is designed to work on most desktop and laptop computers with x86 processors, whether they are 32 or 64-bit. You can install Android natively on your machine or run it in a virtual machine, offering you great flexibility of use. This compatibility allows you to give a second life to older hardware or to leverage your computer’s power to run Android apps smoothly.

Full Android Experience with Advanced Hardware Support

You benefit from an Android experience nearly identical to that of a smartphone or tablet, with the ability to install all your favorite apps via the Play Store. Android-x86 supports a wide range of hardware devices: keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, battery management, audio, webcam, and even external display support. The interface is adapted for use with a keyboard and mouse but also remains optimized for touch input, depending on your hardware.

Simple Installation and Coexistence with Other Operating Systems

Installing Android-x86 is made easy thanks to an intuitive graphical installer. You can choose to install Android-x86 on different partitions (EXT3, EXT2, NTFS, FAT32), allowing it to coexist easily with Windows or other operating systems. This makes it possible to enjoy a dual-boot system, letting you choose at startup between Android and your usual OS. This flexibility is ideal for testing Android on a PC or transforming a computer into a dedicated terminal for specific uses.

In summary, Android-x86 gives you the ability to harness the richness of the Android ecosystem on your computer, with broad hardware compatibility, a complete user experience, and flexible installation options tailored to your needs.

Note: if you are looking for the version used in the tutorial below, it is: Android X86 4.4 for virtual machine.
