A friend of mine introduced me to this PC Application called BlueStacks which allows you to run/use any app that you can currently download from the GooglePlay store and use it on your PC.
It doesn't cost you anything to use and unlike other applications like this you are not required to install any 3rd party programs.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets frustrated sometimes when you'd like to have an app on your PC but it isn't in the Windows App Store such as KIK but with this app you can run KIK and it works perfect.
Just like an Phones and Tablets that use Android/Google Play you will be required to use your GMail/Google Account but you will not receive any unwanted e-mails this works exactly like it would if you were on your phone except it's on your PC.
This is also perfect for those of you who are still using a Windows 7 PC but don't have a device that can download iFruit this will allow you to finally use the iFruit App for GTAOnline
How To Download & Install BlueStacks & Use Application

Once you click the system you use, You'll be re-directed to another page thanking you for your download and a window will pop-up asking you to save file and once you do the download will start
