How to Install Genymotion Desktop on Windows?
1️⃣ **Prerequisites**
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit (Windows 7 is no longer supported).
- A compatible graphics card; systems with Intel integrated GPU may encounter issues.
- A hypervisor:
- **VirtualBox** (recommended, included in the full installer).
- **QEMU** (requires Hyper-V, so Windows Pro/Enterprise or the Home version with Hyper-V enabled).
2️⃣ **Download**
- Go to the [Genymotion Desktop](https://genymotion.com/product-desktop) page and click on **Download**.
- Choose the package *Genymotion-Desktop-Windows-
3️⃣ **Installation**
1. Run the installer:
- The full installer includes VirtualBox, so you don't need to install it separately.
- If you prefer to use only Genymotion, install VirtualBox from the official VirtualBox website first.
2. Follow the assistant:
- Accept the terms, choose the installation directory (default: `C:\Program Files\Genymotion`).
- The application creates an automatic user account (or allows you to log in to an existing account).
3. **Enable Hyper-V** (if you use QEMU on Windows Home):
- Open *Turn Windows features on or off* → check **Hyper-V** (Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform).
- Restart your PC.
4️⃣ **Launch**
- Open Genymotion Desktop from the Start menu or the desktop icon.
- Log in with your Genymotion account.
- The software will automatically download the required Android images for your virtual devices (an internet connection is required the first time).
5️⃣ **Create a virtual device**
- Click on **Add Device** → choose a model or create a **Custom Virtual Device** (e.g., Android 13, screen size, resolution...).
- Launch the device by double-clicking on it; it will start in a separate window.
🔧 **Troubleshooting tip**
If you see the error "Unable to start the Virtual Device", restart your computer. If the issue persists, consult the official support article "How to fix “Unable to start a Virtual Device” error".
🎉 You are now ready to develop, test, or demonstrate your Android applications in a complete virtual environment!
