**How to Install Genymotion Desktop on Windows**

1. **Download the installer**

- Access: https://genymotion.com/product-desktop/download

- Select the *Windows* (64-bit) version.

- The file includes VirtualBox, so you don't need to install it separately.

2. **Run the installer**

- Double-click the `.exe` file.

- Follow the assistant:

1. Accept the license terms.

2. Choose the installation location (default is `C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion`).

3. Complete the installation and, if prompted, restart your computer.

3. **First run**

- Start Genymotion Desktop (Start menu → Genymotion or desktop icon).

- On the login screen:

- If you already have a Genymotion account, enter and log in.

- Otherwise, click *CREATE ACCOUNT* to create a free account.

- If your PC uses a proxy, click *View proxy options* and configure as needed.

- Select “Personal use” (free version) or “I have a license” if you have a Pro license.

- Click **NEXT**.

4. **Create and start a virtual device**

- On the Dashboard, click **CREATE** → *Add Device* → choose the desired Android model and click **Create**.

- The device will appear in the list. Click **PLAY** to start it.

- If you see a warning “VirtualBox not found”, check if VirtualBox is installed (it comes with the installer, but may have been removed).

5. **Additional settings**

- To adjust resources (CPU, RAM, resolution), right-click the device → *Edit*.

- You can also use the **Genymotion Shell** (`C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion\genyshell.exe`) for quick scripts.

6. **Quick tips**

- **Minimum requirements**: 64-bit CPU with VT-x/AMD-V enabled, 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended), OpenGL 3.3+, and an Internet connection for downloading device images.

- **Hypervisor**: The installer includes VirtualBox. If you prefer to use QEMU, enable Hyper-V in *Turn Windows Features on or off* (not available on Windows Home without adjustments).

- **Updates**: Open Genymotion Desktop → *Check for updates* to ensure you're on the latest version.

You're done! Now you have Genymotion Desktop working on your Windows. 🚀

**What development platform do you usually use (Android Studio, Visual Studio Code, etc.)?**
