    I don’t know if it’s still a thing, or how well it would work for your usages, but I used to use an Android emulator application on Windows called BlueStacks. Might be something to look into. I hope you find something that works well for you!

      I’ll be so honest, the best android emulator is just downloading the Android SDK. You can pull off anyyyyy set up you want.
