How To Update Bluestacks Android Version 7 To 9 Pie For PC

Bluestacks has just launched their biggest update, BlueStacks 9 beta, which carries Android Pie (Android 9 emulator) as its OS. Many Android emulator developers are competing to update their projects to Android 9 because it is to keep up with the current game and application updates.

This Android Pie Emulator development is very good for Bluestacks development because Bluestacks is the most superior Android Emulator among other Android emulators such as NOX, LD Player, MuMu App Player, and many other Android emulators.

It’s important to note that Android 9 is only available on the latest version of BlueStacks 5. This means that, if you haven’t done so already, you should download and update to the most recent version of this emulator, in which you will find the Android 9 version when you create a new instance in the Instance Manager.

1. In the Instance Manager, click on “New instance”, followed by “Fresh Instance”, and then select “Pie 64-bit (Beta)” from the dropdown menu.
2. Give your new instance enough resources to run adequately. If your PC meets the recommended requirements for BlueStacks 5, simply add 4 CPU cores and 4GB of RAM to it.
3. After BlueStacks finishes downloading and installing your new instance, click on the “Run” button in the Instance Manager to run it.
