Install Any Android App in BlueStacks (Android App Player for PC)

BlueStacks App Player lets you run your Android apps fast and full screen on Windows PCs and tablets. You can read about it more and download it from here: Run Android Apps In PC!
The problem with BlueStacks is that it only allows you to install apps available in its own App Channel.
There is a way around to install other apps also if you got the .apk file for that!
I assume you got the .apk file for the app you wish to install in BlueStacks. You can get it by simply searching in Google itself..! :-)

Step 1: Locate the .apk file on your PC. Right-click it and select "Open With..."
Step 2: Click "Browse" and go to the location where you installed BlueStacks. If you haven't changed the location during the installation of BlueStacks, you can find it at "C:\Program Files\BlueStacks" for 32-bit OS and "C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks" in 64-bit OS.
Step 3: Select "HD-ApkHandler.exe", click "Open" and then click "OK"
Step 4: The .apk file will be installed to BlueStacks.
You can go and run the app you installed in BlueStacks now..!
