  1. Hi, you mention that the Google Home App is not available for Windows 10, but we can still use it by downloading it through an emulator.

    I’m not computer savvy at all, so would you be so kind as to explain what you mean by an emulator?

    I apologize for any inconvenience, and I certainly do appreciate any information/advice you can give me. I’ve cancelled my cable service, so I’m trying to figure out how to transfer the “Free TV App” I’ve downloaded on my phone to my TV via my PC. And I have absolutely no clue what I’m doing!

    Thank you for your time, and have a nice evening.

    Sincerely,

    • Hi!

      Since the Google Home app is an Android app, you will need an Android emulator on your computer to run it.
      An emulator simply runs a virtualized Android Operating System into your PC. Thus, allowing you to run almost any kind of Android apps into it.
