An emulator is a hardware or software that enables one computer system to behave like another computer system. It can make your windows system act like an Android system. Further, an emulator typically enables the host system to run software or use peripheral devices designed for the guest system.

Also, remember to enable virtualisation in your BIOS for Android apps to work. Microsoft has a great guide for doing that on its website.

For downloading Bluestacks, run the emulator once the installation is done and log in with your Google account to access the Play Store and you can simply access it.
