You can download BlueStacks 5 Nougat 64-bit for Windows from official website bluestacks.com. Download the .exe file and complete the setup within minutes to start playing your favorite mobile games. Note that if it is not a GPU VPS, please try not to install it on the system C drive in order to avoid the problem of insufficient disk that you may encounter in the future, and choose to install it on a SSD disk with more space, usually the D drive.
Two shortcuts will be generated on the desktop after installation, one for single-instance mode and one for multi-instance mode. The interface of the software opened in the two modes is different, as shown in the following figure.
It's very important to allocate enough RAM and CPU cores to your Android emulator. Your emulator need to make use of the assigned resources to power up the apps you launch inside the emulator. Changing the RAM and CPU cores settings can significantly increase the performance of BlueStacks on your server.
