Nougat Android 7.0 (Beta) Android-x86
Android-x86 is an open source project designed to bring Android to desktop computers with x86 processors instead ARM chips found in most Android phones. Android-x86 is still in its infancy, it has some bugs, but it is still a working version of Android 7.0 on your computer.
The main problem we had was related to Wi-Fi - I was unable to connect to the Internet and download applications - but the Android system itself is soft.

Final Thoughts on OS Remix
In early 2016, I was testing the first beta for OS Remix and it worked pretty well. This version, however, is much more stable, it is clear that it is a project that was the subject of a lot of hard work. Moreover, the founder of Android-x86 project now runs on OS Remix. It is a comprehensive desktop experience on the Android operating system perfectly adapted to the big screen and mouse. Take a look.
Android emulators for PC
drive OS remix
Another way to get the Android experience on the big screen is to use an emulator. One of the best, and the only race with marshmallow is drive Remix OS. This is a remix version of the operating system on a virtual machine to run directly on a Windows environment.
Just download Remix OS drive, unzip and run the file in the RemixOSPlayer.exe. Initially, you will be asked to put some things and is very easy to start. To use the mouse emulator window press Ctrl Alt.
On the right, you have several options and a menu where you can change aspects of the emulation that the battery status, location, network signal and record images. To move files from the emulation system simply drag and drop.

Note: If you see this error: "the x86_64 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please make sure HAXM Intel is properly installed and the state of the acceleration of CPU used. You can not open the device HAXM :. ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, "just go into the Remix OS drive folder> RemixOSPlayer> remixemu> haxm windows_v6_0_3-and-run intelhaxm android.exe file Once completed can be repeated Remix OS Player and that should work.
Other emulators and alternatives
There are a wide range of Android emulator for PC, but OS Remix Player is the best, because others tend to use earlier versions of Android like Lollipop and KitKat. popular emulators include BlueStacks, Andy, and Droid4x Koplayer. For Linux, you can use shashlik, which is still under development.
So there is no excuse to try Android on your PC. Do you like the idea of having Android on the desktop?
