Android for your Windows Phone is on the way. So without further ado, here's how to install Android on Lumia Windows Phone.
Android OS is an open source mobile operating system owned by Google and developed by the Android developer community. Android is based on Linux, and it is widely used in mobile phones, and also waiting for its entry into tablets and netbook computer segment. Though it is a mobile OS, we can virtually run Android on Linux, Intel Mac and even in Windows. Live Android is a special compilation of Android OS in a CD ISO image form, that we can use to boot Android from a USB drive or CD. We can also use a desktop vitalization application like SUN VirtualBox and install (virtually) or operate Android OS in Windows and other OS platforms. Though we cannot exactly reproduce and use Android just like as in mobile phones, give it a try if you are planning to buy an Android device or curious to know about its user interface, menu options, etc. Here we will point you to the Live Android download, and help you to install Android OS in Windows, virtually using SUN VirtualBox application.

- The above stated technique is used for testing an old version of Android on Windows. You can find and download Android 4.0, and other new variants from this websiteand test it on the Virtualbox using the same procedure. The Android x86(Windows 32 bits)bit) builds given in that site works exceptionally well
with corresponding devices given in that page; however, you could use the same ISO files to create bootable USB disks (using Unetbootin ). Follow the procedure given in the Unetbootin website to build a Live, Android USB disk.
- If you just want to run popular Android apps on your Windows or Mac (limited compatibility) desktop, try Bluestacks.
Windows is the most popular desktop operating system in the world, which means that there are no doubts lots and lots of people who use both Windows 10 on a PC and an Android smartphone. Today's Microsoft is accommodating to most platforms, so regardless of your preference, they've got solutions for you.
In this guide we're specifically looking at how to get your photos from your Android phone over to your Windows 10 computer. Sounds simple, but there are a few different ways you can do things.
1. Import all photos using the Phone Companion app
The Phone Companion app is new from Microsoft for Windows 10. Much of it is geared at helping Windows users on iPhone or Android find their way with Microsoft services on each respective platform. What the Phone Companion app can also do is help you to quickly import your entire photo library from your phone to your computer.
Plug your Android phone in to your Windows 10 machine using the regular microUSB cable. If the Phone Companion app doesn't launch, go into the Start Menu and select it. You may also need to make sure your Android phone is in MTP transfer mode. You should see a notification on the phone that will tell you if it's connected as a media device or not. Tapping on it will take you to the necessary settings, just ensure MTP not PTP is selected.
When it opens you'll see the screen above, with some Microsoft apps and services above some information about your phone. For what we want here you'll need to seek out the 'Import photos and videos into the Photos app' option highlighted above.
After you've clicked on that the stock Photos app for Windows 10 will open and you'll see the message shown here. By default it'll import all your photos and videos to the Pictures file on your computer. So this is a perfect method if you just want to dump everything at once.
2. Using File Explorer
If you don't want to do a blanket import (or, even if you do) there's File Explorer at your disposal. Once you're plugged in and in MTP mode as detailed in point one, File Explorer will see the contents of your phone. To get to your photos you'll need to navigate to the correct folder on your phone, and this will vary across different models.
On the phone we're using here (a Xiaomi Mi 4) our photos are found by going to Internal Storage > DCIM > Camera. From here you can simply drag and drop the photos you want to move from your phone to your computer.
3. Using the cloud
The great thing about Windows 10 is that there will be a solution for most people even if Microsoft isn't the direct supplier of it. The cloud is one of these situations. OneDrive is baked into Windows 10 but you can just as easily use other alternatives, like Dropbox, for example. Both of these can be used to sync your photos to your computer without the need for cables. We'll focus on these two for the purposes of this guide, but many of the same steps may apply to your chosen cloud service.
What's also great about both OneDrive and Dropbox is that their respective Android applications have camera auto-backup built in. This means you can turn it on and just not worry about syncing anything. Your photos will upload to the cloud in the background and then, providing you're syncing those folders to your PC, they'll just appear. Like magic.
For either option, first go into the Settings in the Android apps and ensure you have camera backup turned on to take advantage of this. If you don't want to do it this way you can manually upload your photos to your cloud accounts and still get them on your computer with these easy steps.
OneDrive
To get your photos from OneDrive onto your Windows 10 device you'll first need to tell it to sync the right folder. How to sync OneDrive folders in Windows 10 isn't immediately obvious, but fortunately we've got a full guide on how to do just that. Check it out at the link below.
Dropbox
Unlike OneDrive, Dropbox needs to be installed onto your Windows 10 device. We're not talking about the Store app, either, but the desktop sync app that you can download directly from Dropbox.
For a full guide on how to get set up and syncing your Dropbox folders check out the link below.
Both of these methods will keep your phone and Windows 10 PC in sync (data connection pending) so you don't ever have to worry about manually transferring your snaps again.
Those are a few of the more common methods to get your treasured snaps from your Android phone to your Windows 10 PC. If you've got any tips or tricks we didn't mention be sure to jump into the comments below and share them with everyone!
