      I am looking to let my daughter use a couples she is used to non her phone on a computer.

      From what I have been reading, BlueStacks and Nox App Player are highly referenced.

      Does anyone have any experience with these or a different recommendation?

      I've used BlueStacks heavily this past year and can say it has been working very well. Lately I've been using it even more now for my daughter for a few really good Android apps we needed that sucks on a smaller device, and we didn't want to buy something else. I've been using it on a Yoga for her since it's basically a big tablet once you fold the screen all the way back into itself, on my Asus RoG, and on both my Lenovo for work purposes.

        I have not tried Nox App Player, so can't say anything with that.

          I think @pchiodo uses BlueStacks daily and has no issues with it.

            I'd instantly say BlueStack not really tried many others

                Is there an advantage to using BlueStacks over just downloading the x86_64 ISO?

                      You just mean running Android x86 in a VM? Or just live booting the PC into Android x86 when you want to run Android apps?

                        Yeah in a VM.

                            It was a genuine question. I've never run BlueStacks. I was just wondering if it does anything special.

                              Yes, the advantage is it's managed by BlueStacks and you don't have to dual boot or manage a "VM".

                              The disadvantage is that you can't run Hyper-V or have it enabled at the same time.

                              Otherwise it's personal preference of how you want to deal with it.

                              I didn't know there was a x86_64 iso either. But still, I would rather use BlueStacks because it's such a good experience.

                                That doesn't work correctly on KVM / QEMU unless thats changed

                                  Ah ok. I had one I used a few years ago and wasn't sure if that was the same one. It's been forever since I did it and I only needed it once for a few mins.

                                    Ha so now I was curious. It does work in KVM now. They give you a separate launcher to make it a little easier.

                                        I just noticed there's no support for Linux so that's probably why I've never used it. I don't have any Windows devices so that's most likely why I just used the ISO however many years go.

                                          Yeah we had a thread about it here and I remember you testing it as well. We couldn't get the mouse input to work correctly
