Remix OS is the latest operating system since CES 2016, known as a free OS customized from Android but evaluated as a fusion of Windows and Chrome OS. Mytour previously covered Remix OS with a guide on creating a Remix OS USB installation and then using it directly. However, this article eliminates the need for a USB installation, as we'll use it to seamlessly run Remix OS alongside Windows.
By installing Remix OS on your computer, you can now directly use Android on your PC without relying on Android emulators. Installing Remix OS is significant as it maximizes hardware utilization on your computer instead of being limited like using Android emulators. Experience Remix OS on your computer firsthand, but first, let's see how to install Remix OS.

If you noticed during the Remix OS installation process, it also allows you to install it on a USB drive. You can try it on a USB drive, but remember to choose a USB 3.0 standard to ensure speed. However, installing Remix OS on a computer without affecting the hard drive partition is already great, but for easier management, you should also partition the hard drive separately for easy management.
In addition, you can dual-boot Android with Windows to experience Android apps directly on the Windows operating system by installing third-party software. Details on how to dual-boot Android with Windows have been introduced by Mytour. If interested, please follow along.
