Easily Install Android M Preview on Windows based Computers

Google has announced the Latest Android M 6.0, but this doesn’t have to mean that it revealed what the final release date is.

I believe that it’s unlikely that the final version of Android M will be available to consumers until November, in the best case, so what can you do until then?

Is waiting patiently an option for you? The Android M development version is available for developers, so why not installing it on your own Windows computer or laptop?

This build that I am talking about offers lots of amazing new upgrades, so don’t miss the chance of enjoying it. I am referring to simplified volume controls, improved battery life, a redefined App Drawer with the possibility to uninstall apps from the Home Screen, to secure your device with a fingerprint option and much, much more waiting to be discovered.

Installing the Android M Preview is relatively simple, so don’t hesitate to continue reading as I’ll outline the process below:
