How to run apk files on pc without emulator?

Running APK files on a PC without an emulator is quite limited due to compatibility issues. However, you can use Chrome extensions to run some APK files within the Chrome browser, or use a cloud-based Android environment which technically is a form of remote emulation. Another option is to run Chrome OS on your PC, as it supports Android applications. Keep in mind, these methods might not provide full app functionality or performance compared to using a local emulator or an Android device.
