I was looking for a way to do that, and not finding decent easy to setup app. Then I found out Google created one in beta. Right now has a few hundred android games. And so far they work great, smooth perfect on my new Precision 7530 laptop. They keep adding more games. These games are in the Play Store.
I put this on 2 laptops so far, other is ASUS Q525U, mostly for the grandkids who are 11 and younger, one is 6.
It does require Hypervisor turned on, which the app will do automatically for you if it sees it is not there. I figure it must be creating an android virtual machine or something like that.
One advantage is the kids wont be taking my phone to play games on.
This is a good project. But I've used Bluestacks lately. It used to be garbage, but now it's actually very decent. You can install any Android games you want.
Back in the day Genymotion was really good and still is...Can run full Android OS.

I saw a system requirement early last year was for Intel 630 graphics, but, this is working ok on my i7-8550 cpu with 620 graphics.
Being beta software, looks like they are expanding which CPU it runs on. I notice they ask for feedback on how the games work.
I broke the screen on it, but found I can connect it to an HDTV by way of the HDMI port, so is still a useful computer. I removed the hinges, it simply is a flat small PC now. Ideally a wireless HDMI might be nice, but I think they are expensive, maybe when they get cheaper and better.
Years ago, I put an NVME WD black 512mb in this. The MB has a slot for a single NVME of 2 lanes of data (x2), not 4 (x4).
