Hi,
I want to introduce to you Windroy, it is Android running with Windows kernel. It does not run by a simulator (such as VirtualBox), It keeps full Android capabilities. You can run all Android apps. Its really easy and usefull if you dont have a tablet or if you want to test an other screen size. And the best, it's free.
There is no Playstore so use this website to find app:
