2. Initial setup. For most devices with ARM64 processor it's recommended to use Box86 and Box64 for emulation of x86 and x64 architectures respectively.
3. Installing Windows games. It allows to run Windows programs through standard EXE and MSI files. You can download games on your Android device and also install them through emulator.

Why Windows apps and games can work incorrectly?​

The thing is that programs are created for different technical languages, and when transferring them to your device sometimes misunderstandings happen because of emulation — it's like translator who works almost perfectly but sometimes loses nuances.

Important to consider capabilities of your smartphone or tablet too. The more modern processor and bigger amount of RAM memory, the better device will handle heavy applications — games, graphic editors or work programs. If something works slower or with errors, this is not always your mistake — just technical limitations take their toll.

Download and install Winlator 10.0 for comfortable work is easier than it seems.

• Graphics. VirGL — optimal option for most applications. If your smartphone or tablet equipped with Mali GPU, try choosing corresponding driver — sometimes this gives performance boost!
• Memory. 2 GB — for simple programs like office applications. 3-4 GB — if you plan running games or resource-heavy programs. Also close background applications before starting Winlator — this will free up RAM memory.
• Processor. Set half of physical cores of your device. For example, if processor has 8 cores, choose 4. This provides better compatibility and reduce lags.

Winlator works without internet after setup. This is perfect for travels or places with weak signal. You will be able to edit documents in train or play old PC games on beach — and all offline!
